DOUGLAS COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on multiple allegations after an altercation on the KU campus.
Around 2:30p.m. Wednesday, police were called to the area of Missouri Street and Fambrough Drive after a man identified as a Lawrence resident, allegedly engaged in a confrontation with workers at the University of Kansas football facility construction site, according to a media release from police. The man also attempted to stab at least one person.
The 41-year-old man brandished a knife and threatened multiple people in the area. The man initially refused to comply with responding officers’ commands, and only submitted to arrest after being threatened with less-lethal devices.
The man was safely arrested and transported to the Douglas County Correctional Facility and booked in on suspicion of multiple counts of Aggravated Assault. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The University of Kansas Police Department assisted LKPD with the investigation. Police did not release the suspect's name.
