No progress for semester assaults
February 20, 2007
No progress has been made in the number of assault cases that Sacramento State has seen this semester.
On Sept. 18, a woman was attacked across from Parking Structure I near Hornet Crossing, according to a University Police Department alert bulletin.
The victim was walking northbound on State University Drive West toward the parking structure when she was grabbed by a man.
The victim pulled away and ran, and the suspect ran in the other direction, according to the bulletin.
Campus police said one arrest was for this case, but it turned out to be unrelated.
On Sept. 9, a man was confronted by four or five men outside of Desmond Hall, with one of the suspects reportedly wielding a silver handgun.
The resident was then punched and struck in his face and at the back of his head, according to campus police’s Alert Bulletin.
The suspects reportedly fled in what was described as an older Mustang, and the victim was taken to a local hospital where his injuries were treated.
No arrests have been made for this case, and the investigation is still proceeding.
