Chapel Hill, NC (AHN) - Six people are injured when a sport utility vehicle drives through students at a busy section of the University of North Carolina's campus.

None of the five students and a visiting scholar being treated at local hospitals are seriously injured.

The Associated Press reports that former UNC student Mohammed Reza Taheriazar has been taken into custody by campus police.

The university says in a statement that police plan on charging him with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Town police Capt. Brian Curran says Taheriazar called police to surrender.

Officer Herbert Bryant of the university's Department of Public Safety says, "He kind of gave himself up."

Student Nicholas Altman witnessed the incident:

He tells WRAL-TV, "I turned around and there was a white SUV. It looked like it hit a couple of people. One person in particular went over the hood."
