NEW BRUNSWICK -- A man described by police as affiliated with Rutgers University was assaulted by several people at a party Saturday, authorities said.

The attack occurred at 5:20 p.m. on Delafield Street between Courtland and Bristol streets near the university's College Avenue campus, Rutgers police said.

The man told police he was at a party inside a home when he was assaulted by several males after a verbal altercation. The victim fled the area as the fight continued onto the front porch, authorities said in an alert to the community.

No weapons were used and the man received treatment for his injuries. Descriptions of the suspects were limited as of Sunday, police said.

About two weeks ago, a 20-year-old junior from Toms River was stabbed multiple times with a box cutter type object on the same street.

Robert Mannifield, 20, of North Brunswick, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose in that incident.
