A student told police that a man touched her breasts in a Rieber Court crosswalk on Sunday at about 5 p.m.
The suspect, described as a 20-year-old Asian man with “funky hair,” approached the student from behind while she walked in the crosswalk, according to a university police statement. He is likely a student, said UCPD sergeant Miguel Banuelos.
After he cupped the woman’s breasts, the suspect’s friend reportedly pulled him away, saying, “What’s wrong with you!”
The student said she thought the man was drunk or under the influence of drugs. She felt it necessary to report the incident but did not want to file an official police report, Banuelos said.
University police alerted the Office of Residential Life, and posters describing the incident were hung around the Hill as a warning to students.
Officials will investigate whether security cameras are stationed near the location of the incident, Banuelos said.
