Two Indiana University students were caught after a campus-wide manhunt and charged Sunday morning in connection with a pre-dawn fight and stabbing that injured another student.
University police arrested 18-year-old Zesen Shen and 21-year-old Kaiyu Lao, a spokesman said. Shen has been charged with intimidation and battery and Lao was charged with intimidation.
Campus police said Shen, Lao and a 20-year-old IU student were in the Tulip Tree apartment's parking lot in Bloomington around 3.30 a.m.
Concerns: Indiana University put out a campus wide alert on social media while two men involved in a stabbing were still at large. They were arrested early on Sunday morning
Witnesses told officers the three were there 'to resolve a dispute when the suspects began chasing victim and wounded him with a knife.' The incident prompted a campus-wide alert and search.
University police Lt. Craig Munroe told the Indianapolis Star the student was stabbed in the back.
The 20-year-old was taken to a IU hospital in Bloomington with an injury that isn't life-threatening, spokesman Mark Land said.
University officials told students to seek shelter behind locked doors earlier on Sunday. The school gave students the all clear around 7 a.m. CDT on Sunday.
Fear: The two men reportedly got in a fight with a third student and he was stabbed in the back. The victim is in hospital with non life-threatening injuries
'Around 4 am, apparently, three students were involved in some sort of a fight at a student apartment complex at the edge of campus,' said Land.
The spokesman added that all those involved were believed to be students.
The violence was the latest to hit U.S. schools and universities after two deadly incidents last week.
In one, a Nevada middle-school student killed a teacher and wounded two classmates. In the other, a Massachusetts high-school student was accused of stabbing a teacher to death.
