Male student reports assault Sunday

A 27-year-old male MSU student said he was assaulted Sunday in Owen Hall, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.

The student said a 21-year-old male student, whom he knew, punched him with a closed fist on the left side of his face at about 3 a.m. Sunday. A witness and the suspect both claim the suspect did not hit the victim.

The victim was upset about the noise the suspect was making the previous Friday and confronted the suspect about it on Sunday, McGlothian-Taylor said.

The victim, suspect and the witness all had gone out to the bar together before the altercation, McGlothian-Taylor said.
