On April 16, a nonaffiliated guest on campus was stopped by another person near the Sarratt Student Center and asked if he had a ticket to the concert on Alumni Lawn. When the guest replied yes, the other person punched him in the face and took the tickets from his hand. The suspect fled in an unknown direction.
Suspect description: The suspect seen leaving the area was described as an African American male, approximately 6 feet tall, with braided, shoulder-length hair and wearing a white t-shirt, 20-25 years of age.
Risk reduction tips:
- Avoid isolated or dark areas.
- If a stranger does approach, maintain a distance and be observant; if they are in a vehicle, get the license plate number.
- Stay alert. If you feel uneasy, leave the area. Go to a safe location and notify VUPD.
- Report any suspicious persons to VUPD. Be prepared to describe the person as best as you can.
