University RCMP are warning everyone walking on the UBC campus at night to be vigilant of their surroundings after a female student was attacked and sexually assaulted this past Saturday night.
The 19-year-old was walking alone in the 6300 block of Biological Sciences Road at about 2:45 a.m. when she was approached from behind by an unknown man. The man wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist, picking her up and leading her to a garden area, while placing his free hand up the woman’s skirt and groping her genitalia.
