He did not disclose the names of the two victims, but added that the student was currently receiving treatment at the KNUST hospital whilst the other victim, who is a staff of the university had been referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) after initial treatment at the university hospital.
The student, he said, was stabbed on his right arm whiles the other victim on his left arm in two separate attacks, stressing that the two also lost their mobile phones and unspecified amount of money.
Lt-Col Addo said the two sustained the injuries when they tried to struggle with their assailants in their attempt to rob them.
He said the suspected armed robbers bolted after the incident, adding that the KNUST security unit in collaboration with the police had mounted a manhunt for the culprits.
He advised students of the university to exercise restraint and be calm since the security unit had put into place adequate measures to ensure the protection of lives and property on campus.
