Add The New York Post on Google Disturbing video footage captured the bloody campus brawl that left three students injured and two in custody at Westchester Community College on Wednesday.Several students are seen scuffling on the ground outside the David Swoope Student Center at the suburban college – with one stumbling away and falling to the ground covered in blood as other students repeatedly yell, “Stop!”
“They had a knife,” one woman is heard yelling.“I was just on my way back to class and then we see a fight break out,” one student eyewitness said. “The two boys dropped to the floor, and there was just blood everywhere.“I rushed to the boy that’s bleeding the most,” she said. “He was just bleeding out and somebody passed me a sweater and I’m just trying to stop the blood. And the two that did it are just like running around. It’s insane.”
The student said one victim was stabbed in the back and the other in the head. “I think they were arguing just over the course of two days and it built up into a fight,” she said.Among the eyewitnesses to the shocking melee was someone bizarrely dressed as “Chester the Viking,” the community college’s mascot.
Westchester County police said they responded to a 911 call at the Valhalla campus around 12:40 p.m., where three students were injured and two others were taken into custody.
Police have not released additional details and college officials have not commented.“It was just like random,” another student said. “I don’t know why. You never think it happens to you or near you until it does.”
The 80-year-old college is part of the SUNY system and has about 9,700 students.
