A suspect with a prior accusation of lewdness is now facing allegations of having robbed and assaulted a woman early yesterday morning at UNLV's Greenspun Hall. According to KTNV, the incident occurred at 5:50 a.m. when "a man approached the woman and "battered her by grabbing her breasts and striking her, and took the victim’s phone by force." UNLV police indicated the assailant then ran off, heading east across Maryland Parkway.

The description of the suspect, believed to be the same individual involved in an act of open and gross lewdness at the College of Southern Nevada's North Las Vegas campus on July 8, has been disseminated in hopes of his swift apprehension. He is described as a black male, around 25 years old, 6 ft. 2 inches in height, with a slim build, black hair, brown eyes, and was last seen donning a gray "Lady Rancho Rams High School" shirt with the green “Rams” shorts as mentioned on KTNV.

Authorities have urged anyone who spots the suspect to contact University Police Services without delay at (702) 895-3669. FOX5 Vegas reported that further information on the incident or the alleged perpetrator should also be reported to University Police Services at (702) 895-3668.
