A man was arrested on American University’s campus after a lockdown and an alert about a “dangerous subject” on Saturday.
University police said a group of students reported that a man “brandished a weapon in their direction” inside of an AU shuttle bus at around 6 p.m. at Nebraska Avenue and Ward Circle.
Police locked down campus and sent out an alert about a "dangerous subject,” advising students to go inside a secure location.
Shortly after, officials sent an update saying the suspect was in custody.
Video shows a man being detained by D.C. police. News4 is working to confirm if that is the person in custody in connection to the alert.
