University of Texas at Arlington police have named a suspect after two attacks on campus.

Officials were not releasing the suspect's name because he is a juvenile. The suspect was not in custody Thursday and there was a warrant out for his arrest, campus police said.

It was unclear whether the suspect was accused of one or both attacks since police have said the suspect descriptions in both incidents were similar.

The professor was attacked at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 400 block of Yates Street, police said. The incident on the south side of Nedderman Hall appeared to be random.

Early in the morning on April 10, a man with a French accent approached a person in a parking lot in the 600 block of South Pecan Street and asked for change. He then lunged at the person with a knife, police said. The victim fought back and the man dropped the knife and ran away.
