Grant Dilibero, a junior information sciences and technology major, was stabbed in the early morning hours of Sept. 23 at Natrona and Summer Streets. Dilibero and some of his roommates were hosting a party at their home when a group os strangers arrived at the house. They disrupted the gathering by offending those in attendance and were soon told to leave. They eventually returned and picked a fight with one of Dilibero's friends. Dilibero was informed of the fight and ran outside his house to break it up. In the process, he was stabbed and later rushed to Presbyterian Hospital and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center where he stayed five hours before being released. Some time before Dilibero's stabbing, his house and others were robbed by someone posing as a repairman. A week later, the same person returned trying to sell items. He was later caught and faced burglary charges.
