Person stabbed near Northeastern University campus in Boston

A person was stabbed Wednesday near one of the largest college campuses in Boston.

Police responded to a Northeastern University dormitory after a stabbing was reported near the school's campus, according to a Northeastern spokesperson.

Officers received a report Wednesday morning that a person had been stabbed at 291 Saint Botolph St., which is the address of Hastings Hall, a Northeastern dorm building.

Police arrived shortly before 8:30 a.m. and found a victim who had been stabbed. The victim was taken to a local hospital.

The victim was not affiliated with Northeastern, according to Renata Nyul, the school's vice president for communications.

"A person who is not affiliated with Northeastern was injured in the incident and entered a Northeastern building where NUPD rendered aid," Nyul said in a statement. "Although the incident did not take place on Northeastern's campus, the university alerted its community to avoid the area while BPD and NUPD were responding."

Hastings Hall has since reopened. No arrests have been announced.

A message left with the Boston Police Department was not immediately returned.
