QUEENS — A St. John's University student was hospitalized early Saturday morning after being stabbed just outside the campus walls, police said.
The unidentified male student was walking outside campus around 2:40 a.m. Saturday when he observed an argument near 80th Road and Utopia Parkway, police said.
The student exchanged words with the people involved in the dispute, and was stabbed in the lower abdomen by a man in his 20s, who fled the scene, according to police and sources.
The victim was taken to Queens Hospital Center, and is in stable condition, police said.
A public safety memo sent to St. John's staff and later obtained by DNAinfo New York confirmed that the victim was a student at the school.
School officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
There have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
