Pitt police are currently seeking two suspects after a man was stabbed Saturday night near the Cathedral of Learning.
At 9:41 p.m. on Saturday, Pitt Police responded to a call on the 100 block of Lytton Ave. — about a block from the Cathedral — for “a male stabbed,” according to a Pitt police crime alert. The victim was with a group of friends, he told police, and approached the two suspects, a black male and a black female, to ask them to stop shining what appeared to be a laser pointer at him. After he approached them, the black male allegedly said, “You shouldn’t have walked up on us like that.” He then allegedly stabbed the male victim in the upper part of the arm, police said, near the armpit.
The unidentified victim was not associated with Pitt, university spokesman John Fedele said in an e-mail on Tuesday.
The victim told police the weapon was “some type of blade,” about five to six inches long. He further described the male suspect as around 25 years old and wearing a black hoodie and dark jeans. The female suspect was dressed in all black.
Pitt police responded to a total of six aggravated assaults — which include stabbings — in 2013, according to the 2014 Annual Security & Fire Safety Report released at the beginning of the fall semester.
Anyone with information regarding this incident should call the University of Pittsburgh Police at 412-624- 2121.
