Student reports confrontation, assault north of campus
A student reported to campus security at 7:00 PM today that he had been confronted by 3 heavy-set males that he believed to be Hispanic while walking with a friend north of campus near Standard & Augusta at about 2:00 AM Saturday. The student could not recall the age of the three subjects. The student reported that the three subjects tried to pick a fight with him, that his friend was able to safely walk away, and that he was struck once in the back of the head as he later walked away. The student reported that he was not injured, and did not notify security or Spokane Police at the time of the incident. The student was encouraged to make a police report.
