A man assaulted a female student in Parking Structure 1 at 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 22. Goodwin said that the man would not leave the woman alone as she walked to her car. He tried to prevent her from getting into her car and attempted to kiss her, Goodwin said.
“At some point, he put his hands around her neck, and it is not known whether or not force was applied,” Goodwin said.
Goodwin said the woman described the man as six feet tall with a thin build and spiky hair. The man was also reported to be wearing white shoes, a forest green shirt and a black backpack. Goodwin said that the man was “known to the victim.” Another person witnessed the incident and reported it to the police. University Police are investigating this incident.
