An ISU student was arrested and charged with stabbing a man multiple times Wednesday.

Liping Zhang, freshman in pre-business, is being held in the Story County Justice Center, facing charges of willful injury, assault, first-degree harassment and fourth-degree criminal mischief.

Billy Tong, ISU student, reported to ISU Police that he had been stabbed by Zhang after an argument that turned violent, according to a news release from ISU Police.

The incident occurred late Wednesday night when Tong went to Frederiksen Court to retrieve some property from another student, according to the release. Several witnesses said Zhang damaged Tong’s vehicle as he attempted to leave the area.

“His windshield was broken and scratches were left on the hood of the car,” ISU Police Lt. Aaron DeLashmutt said.

Tong was taken to Mary Greeley Medical Center where he was treated and released. His injuries were not life threatening, DeLashmutt said.

Zhang and Tong know each other through the mutual friend that Tong was picking up property from, DeLashmutt said.

The release states that a search warrant was executed to retrieve the knife used in the stabbing. Officers found the knife described by Tong and witnesses and proceeded to take Zhang into custody.

“Zhang wasn’t in hiding or anything, we were able to locate him when the search warrant was executed,” DeLashmutt said.

Zhang was interviewed and admitted to stabbing Tong, according to the release, which also stated that following his arrest, Zhang was taken to Story County Justice Center and is being held on a $25,000 bond.
