A domestic assault occurred at about 3:15 a.m. Oct. 19 in Holden Hall, according to police.
The victim, a 19-year-old female student, told police she and the suspect, a 19-year-old male student, were riding in an elevator in Holden Hall when he assaulted her, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. The victim told police the suspect was her ex-boyfriend, who got upset when he came to visit her and saw her with another male student.
The victim told police she slapped the suspect, and he hit her back. However, McGlothian-Taylor said the victim and suspect contradict one another – the suspect said the second male attacked him, and he retaliated to protect himself.
McGlothian-Taylor said a witness heard them yelling and alerted authorities.
No arrests were made. The victim was not left with any injuries.
