NEW BRUNSWICK -- A 20-year-old man has been charged with stabbing another Rutgers student following an altercation outside an off-campus fraternity party early Sunday, according to a report.

Robert Mannifield, of North Brunswick, attacked the other student with a box cutter type object on Delafield Street between Courtland and Bristol streets around 12:45 a.m., authorities told MyCentralJersey.com.

The victim, a 20-year-old junior from Toms River, was stabbed three times near his abdomen, his parents told the website. The business major is recovering at home after being treated at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, the report said.

His parents said their son doesn't know Mannifield, the report said. They added that their son exchanged words with a member of the fraternity after his friend was denied entrance to the party, the report said.

Mannifield is charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
