Greenville, N.C. — An East Carolina University football player from Roxboro was stabbed during a fight at a party shortly after midnight Saturday, Greenville police said.

Tre Robertson, 19, told police that he and several friends went uninvited to a party in Apartment 102 in Building 4310 at North Campus Crossings. As he left, Robertson said, someone approached him and tried to fight him. He was then stabbed in the back.

A friend drove Robertson to Vidant Medical Center, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Robertson is a rising sophomore and an offensive lineman who attended Person High School in Roxboro.

No arrests have been made. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Greenville police at 252-329-4315.

leftwing and flashywife don't have a clue about what a fine school ECU is today or what a fine city Greenville is becoming today. They seem quite arrogant.

These players should stay away from these parties of today. He could have been killed. May he learn from this as well as others learn too.

Leftwing..First you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the academic admissions policies at ECU. So you need to stop there. My daughter is a rising Junior at ECU and I for one know that it is a fine university. Unfortunately those that don't know are usually the first to speak! My daughter also lives at North Campus and has had no problem with the complex, the problem was probably the one that don't leave there and have not business being there. Education is what you make of it, not just where you attend. For your information my daughter was an honor graduate. And I am proud of her attending ECU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
