At around 3:15 p.m., Oct. 21,  a female student and a visiting male friend were assaulted in in the Quad student housing, according to an email bulletin from UPD.

Police described the suspect as an 18-year old white male with short brown hair, wearing a turquoise blue shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes.

It is unknown of how the suspect entered the student housing.

Police said the suspect knocked on the door and forced his way in when the victims opened the door. He assaulted one of the students and bit the friend.

The male fled the scene after the students fought him off, police said.
