Police said a security guard reported that the wife of a colleague was seen holding a knife on a campus bridge at around 9.53am on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the force said the 45-year-old woman had first arrived at the bridge claiming that she could not find her husband.
She left the campus and bought a 21cm-long (8.2 inches) ceramic knife from a supermarket before returning to the university to search for her husband.
A 52-year-old security guard told the woman that her husband was not on campus. The woman then pointed the knife at the security guard, causing a 4cm 'red mark' on his chest, according to police.

Nike sues Hong Kong actor Edison Chen for HK$1 million over alleged contract breach
US sportswear giant Nike is suing Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen Koon-hei for US$126,615 – nearly HK$1 million – for alleged breach of contract. Nike filed the lawsuit in the Central District Court of California in the United States on Tuesday, demanding the former actor and singer pay compensation with an interest rate of 1.5 per cent per month starting 30 days after the first invoice date until payment is completed. It also sought additional costs, collection agency fees and reasonable attorneys' fees from the fashion entrepreneur. Earlier media reports said that Nike was asking for US$126 million, following a clerical error in court records. Chen made a cryptic social media post on Wednesday morning featuring a photo of himself wearing the latest trainers released by his streetwear brand Clot in collaboration with Adidas, with the caption 'WORD!?!?'. In 2023, Chen ended his years-long collaboration with Nike before partnering with Adidas.

Hong Kong slams ‘smear campaigns' as Jimmy Lai returns to court for trial
The Hong Kong government has strongly condemned 'smear campaigns' by foreign forces and anti-China media companies in relation to the national security law trial of former newspaper boss Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, who returns to court on Thursday. Prosecutors and defence lawyers will make their final oral arguments in his high-profile trial . The closing submissions procedure will be the Apple Daily founder's last appearance at West Kowloon Court before the three presiding High Court judges reach a verdict on his case of conspiracies to publish seditious articles and collude with foreign forces. A government spokesman warned on the eve of the trial resuming that it was inappropriate for anyone to comment on details of the case in an 'attempt to interfere with the court to exercise judicial power independently, which might otherwise constitute perverting the course of justice'. However, external forces and anti-China media would 'still continue to distort the truth', he said. The spokesman noted that Lai's lawyers had previously clarified that the former media boss had received appropriate treatment and welfare in prison, while stressing the trial was based on the principle of the rule of law. Hong Kong law enforcement agencies had been taking actions strictly based on evidence, which had nothing to do with the political stance, background or occupation of the people or entities concerned, he added.
