VANCOUVER, Wash. (KATU) — Vancouver police on Wednesday were still looking for a man they said stabbed a woman in the neck on the campus of Clark College.

“If I want to take a walk at some point in the night, or even during the day now, I can’t, because I have to be worried about people like this guy,” said Bailey Miccichi, a student at Clark College.

Police released images from security cameras showing a man between 30 and 40 years old appearing to be running away. He had a beard and was described by the police as being East Asian or Middle Eastern and having a medium build.

“I don't like that there’s somebody running around, like anybody could get stabbed in the neck,” said Miccichi.

Police said a woman was sitting outside the Archer Gallery on Tuesday afternoon when the man approached her screaming for help.

The woman told police she first thought the man punched her but when she saw blood, she realized she had been stabbed.

She was taken to the hospital and was expected to survive.

The man ran off and was last seen running north toward Water Works Park.

“I had noticed that there was a cop car in front of the building here, in front of Geiser Hall, and then a couple of other cop cars; I think three or four down the street there,” said David Dapp-Whisner, a student at Clark College.

The college was placed into lockdown as police investigated.

“It was handled well. I mean, people felt safe enough to go in with their families afterward for an event in the same building.” said Dapp-Whisner.

The school confirmed that neither the suspect nor the victim were students at the college.

“I heard campus security had an issue with him the day before,” said Miccichi.

While investigating Tuesday’s stabbing, police said they learned that on Monday a man of similar description walked up to a woman while she sat in her car and tried to get inside.

She screamed and the man ran off.

Anyone who may know the identity of the man is asked to contact Detective Dustin Goudschaal; dustin.goudschaal@cityofvancouver.us or Detective Max Musich; michael.musich@cityofvancouver.us.

Police encouraged people to be on increased alert and to call 911 immediately to report anyone acting suspiciously.
