One person was taken to UVa Health University Medical Center, spokesperson Eric Swenson said in an email. University spokesperson Bethanie Glover said the victim was in critical condition as of Thursday night. Neither Swenson nor Glover specified the victim's injuries.
Glover said the suspect was a middle-aged white male and that both the suspect and victim had no known affiliation with the university.
Charlottesville police are handling the investigation into the "attack," which occurred within the city’s jurisdiction, Glover said.
It marked the second shelter-in-place at the university this week. On Tuesday, police searched for a suspect involved in a traffic stop who then was believed to have fled the area.
