Home invaders stabbed on Rex St. Wednesday night

The Muncie Police Department has arrested six people that were involved in a home invasion and stabbing on March 11 at 1125 Rex St.

MPD Detective Brian Campbell said two of the six people who entered the house on Rex Street were stabbed.

“There was a fight that ensued, and two of the six were stabbed during the altercation in the house,” he said.

They were stabbed by the people who were in the house at the time.

Five of them were arrested on Friday afternoon. The sixth was arrested this morning, Campbell said.

The house is located one block from campus, just past Virginia Ave.

This is the third home invasion near campus that the Daily News has reported on this semester so far. In October 2014, there was another home invasion reported on Rex St.

No alert was sent out to students about Wednesday's incident by the university.

“We only send alerts when they are relevant,” University spokeswoman Joan Todd said. “In this case, there was no ongoing threat.”

Todd said MPD took the call and University Police Officers responded to assist. The home invasion was reported at 11:20 p.m.

Campbell could not offer any more information, such as if anything was stolen or if anyone went to the hospital.
