SANTA CRUZ >> A 21-year-old UC Santa Cruz student was arrested Sunday after allegedly stabbing a person he was in a relationship with, university police said Monday.

Victor Solano-Guzman was taken into custody after 3 a.m., when police were called to his Stevenson College dorm room.

The victim, whose age and sex the university police Chief Nader Oweis declined to specify, was taken to Dominican Hospital for treatment of minor to moderate injuries and released.

“It was an argument that stemmed into a physical altercation that led to the suspect stabbing the victim,” Oweis said.

Solano-Guzman is being held at the Santa Cruz County Jail in lieu of $375,000 bail on felonies of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. The university has taken no academic-related actions against Solano-Guzman.

Guy Lasnier, a university spokesman, said the assault-related arrest was very unusual for the university, and the first he could remember at the school for a “number of years.”

“This person is presumed innocent until shown otherwise by the court. It’s just a matter for the courts to decide,” said Lasnier. “Obviously, it’s a serious allegation. The university takes student safety, that’s the university’s utmost priority.”

Details leading up to the stabbing remain have not been disclosed, other the fact that the suspect and victim were in a dating relationship. Lasnier said the school has little history of violent assault campus. UC Santa Cruz reported nine incidents of domestic violence, three incidents of dating violence and four cases of aggravated assault in its Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report 2013.
