New Haven, Connecticut police are investigating the stabbing of a Yale student and the apparent suicide of a recent graduate who reportedly attacked him, the Yale Daily News (YDN) reported on Tuesday.

Yale College sophomore Alexander Michaud was allegedly stabbed by 2015 graduate Tyler Carlisle, according to the YDN.

Carlisle then reportedly jumped to his death from the ninth floor of the Taft Apartments, located in New Haven.

A spokesperson for the New Haven Police Department confirmed to Business Insider that the stabbing and apparent suicide occurred around 5:30 a.m. Police also said Michaud was in stable condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
