MSU police received a report of a sexual assault early Friday morning near the Main Library, and are continuing to investigate the incident, according to a police crime alert issued Friday evening.
The complainant, a 19-year-old female student, was walking near the library at about 2 a.m. Friday morning on West Circle Drive, a crime alert stated. A man approached her and asked her if she needed directions. When the student said she did not need them, the suspect grabbed her and sexually assaulted her.
The student described the suspect as a 6-foot-tall white male, about 30 years old. The suspect had a very thin build with short, reddish hair and slight facial hair. The student could not provide police with a description of the clothing the man was wearing.
Anyone with information on this incident or the suspect is asked to contact the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety at its main line, (517) 355-2222.
Calls to MSU police by The State News were not returned Sunday evening.
