"You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye."

-Hunter S. Thompson.

In the case of what happened Saturday on the University of Montana campus, a student discovered that it wasn't a hunting knife, but a fire extinguisher that was in his eye. A U of M student, allegedly on drugs, was found Saturday afternoon running near Miller Hall. According to the Montana Kaimin, The student was naked and bleeding from the pelvic region.

Peter Friesen, of the Montana Kaimin interviewed eyewitnesses.

According to his article:
After running out of Miller Hall, naked and suffering cuts from smashing a fire extinguisher case, a University of Montana student was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon.

Brad Lambert, a sophomore living in Miller Hall, saw the incident from his fifth floor window. He heard yelling and saw the student run out of Miller Hall covered in blood.

“I could tell from where I was he was high on something,” Lambert said.

The campus police showed up to take care of the situation, but the student pretended to run in slow motion away. Students on campus thought it was so ridiculous that it must have been part of a prank. That is of course unitl the ambulance showed up.

The Kaimin reports:
