A message from Chief Ronnell A. Higgins

To the Yale Community,

I write to let you know that a graduate student was assaulted this evening at approximately 9:30 PM while walking on Whitney Avenue near Sachem Street. A dark-colored SUV pulled alongside and an occupant fired a paintball gun striking the student’s backpack. The vehicle fled on Sachem Street toward Prospect Street. No physical injuries were reported. The New Haven police are investigating.
