State College Police are looking to identify a suspect who allegedly injured another man with a knife during an altercation downtown.
The suspect had already fled when police responded at about 1:40 a.m. on Sunday to a fight involving three males outside of Sheetz, 129 S. Pugh St. Two men on the scene reported that a white, college-aged male wearing a red Santa hat and red sweater confronted them and became aggressive.
Police said the suspect, who was described as about 5 feet, 10 inches tall with brown hair, brandished a knife and was disarmed during a struggle. One of the men on the scene had a knife injury and was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center.
The suspect sustained a left eye injury during the fight and is believed to have a red and swollen or black eye, police said.
Anyone who may be able to identify the suspect or who has information regarding the incident is asked to contact Det. John Aston of the State College Police Department at (814) 234-7150, by email or by submitting an anonymous tip through the department’s website.
