A man is wanted in Washington state after authorities say he stabbed a woman in the neck on the Clark College campus on Tuesday.
The woman told responding officers that she was sitting outside the Archer building on campus when an unknown man approached her screaming for help, the Vancouver Police Department said.
She said that she thought the man had punched her, but saw blood and realized she had been stabbed, according to police.
The woman was taken to an area hospital and received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
