Reports of stabbing in Anthropology Building

The woman who was stabbed Monday night is in satisfactory condition at UNM Hospital, according to UNMPD spokesman Robert Haarhues.
Haarhues confirmed that the victim is a student and employee at UNM, but he said the victim’s family does not want her name released to the media.
The suspected stabber is still on the loose.
Haarhues said UNMPD has had several witnesses come forward since the suspected stabbing that occurred Monday night, who say they’ve seen the man all over the city.
“We’re not leaving any stone unturned,” he said. “We’re going to continue the investigation until we catch the guy.”
He said UNMPD is solely in charge of the investigation as of right now. The police report will be ready today after 2 p.m.
He also said she was enrolled in the music appreciation class that she ran into when claiming to have been stabbed. According to the class listing, 88 students were enrolled in the class.
She burst into the classroom in the Anthropology Building around 7:55 p.m., according to several witnesses who were in the classroom.
Student Mike Johnson, who was visibly shaken, said the woman ran into his music appreciation class clutching her throat and asking for help.
“I set my stuff down and this poor lady walks in. She was holding her throat. She said, ‘somebody stabbed me, please help,’” Johnson said. “We all kind of looked at each other like, ‘she’s joking.’ She moved her hand. There was blood all over her shirt.”
Blood was splattered on the sidewalk in front of the north entrance of the Anthropology Building, and the area was marked off by police tape before being cleaned off.
Several students in the classroom corroborated Johnson’s story. Johnson said police responded within 30 seconds.
He said the class responded immediately to the woman’s injury. He said several of his classmates called the police.
“I took my shirt off, gave it to her,” he said. “She put it around her throat. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. It shouldn’t happen at school, man.”
Kyle Morgan, another student in the class, said he and several of his male classmates bolted out the door after the woman described her assailant as a tall black man with a black hooded sweatshirt and black hat.
He said they ran around the entire building but couldn’t find the man in question.
Johnson said he saw a man that matched the woman’s description standing outside the Anthropology Building just before Johnson sat down after retrieving books from his car. He said he and the man exchanged niceties, but he looked “kind of shady.”
The UNM TextMe alert was sent out at 9:25 p.m. encouraging students to walk in groups, and another alert was sent out at 9:33 p.m. informing recipients that it was probable that no new information would be available Monday night.
