OSU Professor William Clark was one of 11 people injured when a student drove into a crowd of pedestrians and began stabbing people in late November.

“I was frankly a little put off my Mr. Trump’s initial reaction to the attack, where he got on Twitter and quickly blamed immigration policies for allowing this to happen,” Clark told CNN, as reported by Mediaite.

“I’ve been a professor for 35 years and I know these issues — when students do these things, they’re often more complex than that."

In the days following the attack, Trump had tweeted that the suspect, a Somali immigrant, should have never been allowed to enter the country.

Clark said he'd like to hear Trump open up rather than "singling out" minority groups and suggesting the U.S. excludes them.

All 11 of those injured from the attacks are expected to recover. Clark told CNN he is “improving slowly day by day” and "getting better."

Clark also said he felt he was in position where meeting Trump wasn’t “a necessary step” for his recovery process.

“I’m older than most of the other victims and they had a more traumatic experience being chased by a guy with a knife than I did,” Clark said.

Abdul Razak Artan, the suspect in the attack, was killed by a police officer at the scene.
