One man had minor wounds and another was arrested after a fight at the University of Denver library on Saturday afternoon, police officials said.
DU campus security contacted Denver police about an assault at the campus library at 12:56 p.m., police spokesperson Kurt Barnes said.
The victim and suspect are adult males, and neither is a student, Barnes said. The victim refused medical treatment at the scene.
Campus security detained the man suspected in the altercation and turned him over to police. The case is under investigation, Barnes said.
DU officials said the two men had come into the library to take a break from the heat when they got into a “verbal altercation,” which is when one of the men brought out a knife, causing minor injuries to the second man’s hand.
Campus officials initially reported the altercation as a stabbing.
Both men were given trespass notices and removed from campus. No students, faculty or staff were directly involved, DU officials said.
The library is closed for the rest of the day and will reopen Sunday.
