On Wednesday, Sept 17, an unknown college-aged black male allegedly assaulted a female UB student. The incident occurred near Capen Hall around 2:15 p.m.
The suspect allegedly struck the victim in the face, causing her earring to rip out and mouth to bleed, according to UB spokesman John Della Contrada.
The victim told the police this has been an ongoing situation since the start of the semester and has escalated since then. She said there have been two other incidents regarding the suspect, which she didn’t report until recently.
The UB student does not know her attacker, but reports he has personal information about her, like her name and where she lives. The suspect has stated he is a UB graduate student and played for the UB football team as an undergraduate.
The UB Alert post said the suspect was described to be college aged, 6 feet tall, skinny, a black male, having long dread locks and light facial hair.
UB police are currently searching for the suspect and increasing patrol in the area.
The University is taking the matter very seriously, Della Contrada said.
