A University representative later affirmed to Fox News that law enforcement responded to a call that a group of individuals was threatening people.
“The suspects, seven juvenile males, fled the platform but were stopped by police,” the spokesperson said Wednesday. “Two individuals carrying metal pipes were identified through video surveillance and witness descriptions. Because the suspects are juveniles, limited information is available.”
