Police: Yale student jumps to death after stabbing

Police say a Yale University student jumped to his death from the ninth floor of an off-campus apartment building moments after stabbing a fellow student.

New Haven police say it happened around 5:30 a.m. (local time) across the street from the Ivy League campus. Officials say the suspect fell six stories onto a third-floor terrace. His name is being withheld pending notification of his family. 

Police say 21-year-old stabbing victim Alexander Michaud is in stable condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Officials say the men were acquaintances and Yale students. A Yale spokesman had no immediate comment. Authorities haven't released details of what happened before the stabbing and jump.
