The University Police Department is seeking assistance from the campus community in identifying a suspect who forcibly grabbed a female student.

The victim was walking on Camphor Lane near Building 4 on Wednesday, Feb. 6 at around 8:15 a.m. when she was approached by the suspect. The suspect asked if she was ticklish, grabbed her, then walked towards the Campus Center Marketplace (Building 97).

The suspect was described as a male Hispanic, 18-20 years old, light skinned with black short hair. He was medium height with a skinny build and was wearing a grey long sleeve T-shirt and dark jeans.

Detectives would like to encourage anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has been a victim and not reported it to do so immediately by calling Police Dispatch at 909-869-3070.
