Moški naj bi v kavarni na Harvardu mašal z ostrim orožjem, zaradi česar so ga zaprli.

A man armed with an edged weapon was detained by law enforcement near Harvard University’s campus Tuesday after reportedly brandishing the weapon at a coffee shop in Harvard Square, according to multiple local authorities. The incident prompted Harvard University to issue a brief shelter-in-place order, which was later lifted. No injuries were reported during the confrontation. Law enforcement agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police and the Cambridge Police Department, conducted a search of the area around John F. Kennedy Memorial Park following the incident. The search lasted approximately one hour before the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) issued its initial emergency alert. The suspect was identified as having engaged in an aggravated assault and battery, according to officials. The HUPD confirmed that the weapon was not a machete, correcting earlier reports that had suggested otherwise. The Cambridge Police Department director of communications, Jennie Lopez, informed Fox News Digital that the incident occurred shortly after 8:45 a.m. at a coffee shop in Harvard Square. She noted that the suspect was taken into custody by the Massachusetts State Police. Lopez emphasized that the weapon in question was an edged tool, though specifics regarding its type or size were not disclosed. Authorities have since filed charges against the suspect, including assault by means of a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct. Harvard University’s shelter-in-place order was activated as a precautionary measure following the incident. The university’s emergency alert system was used to inform students and staff of the situation. The order was lifted once law enforcement determined that the threat had been neutralized. The university did not provide further details on how long the order remained active or how many individuals were affected by it. The location of the incident, Harvard Square, is a well-known hub within the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is situated close to Harvard University’s main campus. The area includes historical landmarks such as Harvard Yard, the oldest part of the university's campus, and modern facilities like the Harvard University Athletics Complex. The proximity of the coffee shop to these locations underscores the potential impact of the incident on the broader academic community. Authorities have not yet released additional information about the suspect’s identity, motive, or prior history. Both the Massachusetts State Police and the Cambridge Police Department have been contacted by Fox News Digital, though they have not provided further statements beyond what was shared with the student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson. The university has also been reached out to for more details, but no official comment has been made publicly. As of now, there are no indications of ongoing threats or further incidents related to this case. Law enforcement continues to monitor the area, and the university has resumed normal operations. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
