Collins was at a bus stop with two friends near Montgomery Hall on Regents Drive about 3 a.m. Saturday, when Urbanski allegedly attacked and stabbed him, police said. He was seriously injured and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The altercation appeared to be random and unprovoked, according to Mitchell. “The assailant in this case approached and, totally unprovoked, stabbed the victim in the chest,” Mitchell said.
The victim’s friends then called 911. University police responded and took the suspect into custody by the bus stop where the stabbing happened, Mitchell said.
Police said the victim’s name would not be officially released until his relatives were notified.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
