Story summary

On Wednesday afternoon, video footage captured a violent stabbing incident at Westchester Community College in Valhalla, Westchester County, involving three injured students and two arrests. Eyewitnesses reported seeing several students scuffling outside the David Swoope Student Center when one of them was seen bleeding profusely after being stabbed with a knife. The injuries included stab wounds to the back and head, leaving at least one victim hospitalized with a collapsed lung.

Police responded to a 911 call and later charged an 18-year-old male, Darryl Crawford, along with his 17-year-old girlfriend, both students of the college, with felony assault. The 17-year-old was held at Woodfield Cottage juvenile detention facility while Crawford was released on bond after being arraigned in Greenburgh Town Court on Thursday.

The violent altercation stemmed from an argument between Crawford and his girlfriend that escalated over a few days, leading to the campus incident that shocked fellow students and staff alike.
