PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia university says an ice cream deliveryman has been stabbed in the bathroom at a campus dining hall, putting the school on lockdown for 45 minutes.
La Salle University says a man in his 20s fled after stabbing the Jack and Jill Ice Cream employee in the shoulder as he washed his hands at around 2 p.m. Monday.
The victim, in his 30s, was hospitalized with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
La Salle sent a text alert to students advising them to shelter in place. The suspect was described as a man in his 20s wearing a blue La Salle sweatshirt.
