The attack at Ohio State University was carried out by a student named Abdul Razak Ali Artan, school Public Safety Director Monica Moll said.
The attacker rammed his car into a group of pedestrians before using a butcher knife to cut several people, university officials said.
The attacker was an 18-year-old of Somali descent who lived in the area, a federal law enforcement official said. Authorities are still investigating his motive.
University officials lauded the efforts of Officer Alan Horujko, 28, in stopping the attacker before he could injure more people.
