The man who attacked a student at Georgia Tech University yesterday has been named as Kshitij Shrotri, and in a twist to an already unbelievable story it seems that the man was not only a student, but also a colleague of the victim.

Kshitij Shrotri is now being held at Fulton County Jail, and it is believed that he will face stuff charges when he is processed later today. The Georgia Tech graduate, who has a qualification in aerospace engineering, shocked the campus yesterday after attacking an as-yet unnamed man, who is being treated in hospital.
