Assault

On Oct. 2 at 8:32 p.m., University Police responded to McKeldin Mall for a report of an assault that occurred on Sept. 30. Two male students were sitting by the fountain talking to friends at about 3 a.m., then one of them tried to start a conversation with another group of people on the other side of the fountain, Hoaas said.

A person from the other group walked over to the two male students and was being aggressive, Hoaas said. The suspect then grabbed one of the two male students and threw him onto the ground. When the other student tried to help, the suspect threw him to the ground as well.

One of the students suffered a minor injury to his arm, Hoaas said. Police will review nearby cameras, and this case is still active.
