PISCATAWAY -- One patient has been discharged following the on-campus stabbing at Rutgers University earlier this month, a hospital official said.
A Rutgers University student and a faculty member were critically wounded when a former student stabbed them in an office at the business school during afternoon classes on Nov. 4, officials said. All three were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Hospital spokesman Peter Haigney said on Thursday, the two remaining patients were in "fair condition." Due to patient privacy laws, however, it remains unclear which patient was released and which patients remain hospitalized.
The suspect, 25-year-old Joshua S. Thompson, of Mountainside, was seriously injured from what authorities say were self-inflicted wounds.
The student and faculty member were wounded after Thompson allegedly stabbed them in an office at the business school during afternoon classes, officials said.
As of Wednesday, no court hearing had been scheduled for Thompson, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
