A message from Chief Ronnell A. Higgins
To the Yale Community:
I write to let you know of a series of inappropriate touching incidents that occurred late this afternoon, beginning at approximately 3:30 pm. A large group of teenage males on bikes riding through campus engaged in disturbing, aggressive, and intimidating behavior. The first incident occurred at 344 College Street. An undergraduate student was jogging when one of the teens slapped her buttocks. The student sustained severe bruising.
The second incident occurred at approximately 4:48 pm in the vicinity of 60 Sachem Street. An undergraduate student was walking when a member of the group of teens groped her buttocks. The last incident occurred at approximately 5:39 pm when a graduate student was walking in the area of Hillhouse Avenue and Sachem Street. A member of the group attempted to strike her buttocks but missed, hitting her bag instead. The Yale Police are investigating.
