A couple of on-campus skirmishes occurred after party at Morgan State University early Saturday morning that was broken up by campus and Baltimore City police, but no arrests were made, Morgan State officials said.
Spokesman Clinton Coleman said on Saturday the party sponsored by the student government and Greek letter organizations drew about 1,200 people. He said fights broke out around 12:30 a.m. in different locations around the campus and campus police intervened, followed by city police.
Baltimore police responded to a report of a woman having difficulty breathing on the Morgan State campus early Saturday morning, spokeswoman Lt. Sarah Connelly said, but couldn't confirm if it was related to the fights. Connelly also said she didn't have any other incidents on the campus to report.
Coleman said that one person complained of being pepper sprayed and was treated at the scene. Campus police reported they had not pepper sprayed anyone and added they had removed pepper spray from several patrons around the party. Coleman said Baltimore City police also reported having not pepper sprayed anyone.
Coleman said that it marked the first on-campus party since a moratorium had been placed on such events a year ago, in part due to a similar incident.
"This may be the last [campus party] for a while," Coleman added.
