ANN ARBOR (WWJ) -- A man was arrested on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, after a stabbing and manhunt Thursday night.

He was tracked down by police after about six hours, and taken into custody just before midnight, police said.
Expected charges are pending.
The person who was stabbed was not been publicly identified, and their is no word of their condition at this time.
