A Rutgers University wrestler has been charged with aggravated assault stemming a Sept. 4 fight in New Brunswick, according to a Rutgers University Police Department community alert.

Brett Donner, a redshirt sophomore on the Rutgers wrestling team, was arrested on Sept. 11 following an investigation by Rutgers' police.

Donner, a 21-year old Wall Township resident, was charged with third-degree aggravated assault for allegedly attempting to cause significant bodily injury, according to court records obtained by NJ Advance Media.

The incident was reported to have occurred at about 1 a.m. on Easton Avenue near Courtland Street in New Brunswick, according to a RUPD crime notification on Sept. 4.

Rutgers wrestling coach Scott Goodale declined comment when reached late Thursday night.

A person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media that Donner has been suspended from the team until his legal situation is resolved.

"We are aware of the situation and [are] gathering facts,'' said Kevin Lorincz, Rutgers' senior associate athletic director for communications. "We will have no further comment as this is a pending legal matter.''

Donner, who wrestles at the 165-pound weight class, redshirted as a freshman and then compiled a 7-9 record for the Scarlet Knights last season. In addition to placing fifth in two tournaments, Donner competed for Rutgers at the Midlands Championships last December.

He finished 97-6 in four seasons at Wall High School, and placed third at the NJISAA Tournament in 2014 (160 pounds) and in 2016 (170 pounds).

The Rutgers wrestling team is set to return three national qualifiers from a 2017-18 campaign that included an 8-7 record in dual matches and the program's best team-finish (11th) at the NCAA Championships in 2018.

The Scarlet Knights open their season Nov. 3 with a dual against Fresno State.
