He said he had been approached while at the library near the quiet room. The suspect asked to speak with him in a quiet room.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe student and the suspect went into the quiet room where they talked,\u201d TJC PD said. \u201cAfter a period of time, the student went to leave and the suspect pulled a knife from a front pocket, held it to the student\u2019s neck area and said, ‘We are not finished talking.’\u201d<\/p>\n
