Newcastle College has worked closely with Northumbria Police throughout their investigation into the actions of a young man in Hamilton Place, Arthur’s Hill.
College Principal Carole Kitching said today: “I would like to reassure staff, students and their families that their safety has been paramount to us and the college remains a safe place to study.
"The security team already works in close partnership with the local neighbourhood policing team and this will continue. Officers will be on patrol around the campus to offer reassurance and anyone who is concerned can speak to an officer or contact the college's welfare team.
“People should attend the College as usual. We have an extensive network of CCTV cameras monitoring key areas inside buildings and across the campus and our security staff are on duty 24 hours a day.”
