In a significant development, an Arizona college student, previously charged with attempted murder for the unprovoked stabbing of a classmate, has had the charge dropped.

The student, whose name has not been released, is now out on bail, set at $250,000.

The incident, which took place on a university campus, reportedly shocked witnesses, including approximately 13 individuals who were present during the attack. Among the witnesses was a professor who, along with others, recounted the event to law enforcement officials. According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, the stabbing occurred “without any provocation or any words spoken.”

The decision to drop the attempted murder charge has raised questions about the judicial process and the facts of the case.

As more details emerge, public interest continues to grow, given the random and violent nature of the attack, which appears to have deeply impacted both the campus community and those who witnessed the incident firsthand.

No further details regarding the motivations behind the attack have been released at this time, and the legal proceedings are ongoing.
