Three students sustained minor cuts after two of the students, who are roommates, got into an argument on the fifth floor of Valentine Commons. One of the students broke a bottle and began ”swinging it around” at which point the third student intervened, according to Raleigh Police Department Watch Commander D. G. Bean.
One of the injured students was carried out of the building on a stretcher, though this does not suggest that the injuries were serious, Bean said. Rumors circulated among residents and on social media that drugs were involved, though no authorities verified this.
“At this time, our concern is with our students,” said Matt Woods, property manager for Valentine Commons.
The full investigation is still ongoing. Three students, who were neighbors of the students involved in the tussle, were taken away in a police car to give a statement.
