Valic also told STA that Lorenci, who teaches radio and theatre directing at the AGRFT, was immediately taken to hospital but his injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The Ljubljana Police Administration said the incident involving a 24-year old student is being investigated by criminal investigators.
A prolific director, Lorenci received earlier this year an award for directing Aeschwlus's "The Orestia" at the Borstnik Meeting, the country's leading theatre festival.
Lorenci, born in 1973 in the city of Maribor, graduated from the AGRFT in 1999. He has worked for theatre houses at home and abroad and received many awards, including international. He has taught at the AGRFT since 2006.
