BALTIMORE – A Baltimore judge has set bail at $500,000 for a Maryland university student accused of slashing two other students with a pocket knife outside a campus dining hall.
A judge on Thursday set bail for 19-year-old Carlos Mars, who is facing assault and attempted-murder charges stemming from a fight on the Morgan State University campus earlier this week.
Police say two groups of students got into a fight about 2 p.m. Tuesday. Police say Mars took out a pocket knife and began swinging, slicing one student across the chest and another in the back. Mars told investigators he was defending himself and a friend.
The judge also ordered Mars to stay away from the victims and the school.
