The University of Oklahoma Police Department is actively investigating a sexual assault that occurred on campus yesterday afternoon. As per multiple local news reports, an unknown male suspect is accused of slapping a woman's behind and promptly fleeing the scene. FOX 25 OKC described the suspect as a white male with blonde hair, donned in a white button-up shirt and gray shorts, last seen riding a silver BMX-style bicycle.

Further information released by OU's campus police highlighted the location of the incident as being near the 600 block of East Constitution Street. In trying to swiftly respond to the situation, OU Campus Police issued an alert informing the public about the assault. As cited by KFOR News, "a woman who said someone groped her and ran off," detailed a bulletin from the police department. The suspect has avoided capture to this point, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Details regarding the ongoing investigation are limited, but News On 6 included an additional description of the suspect having "blonde shaggy hair," which could potentially aid in his identification.

Authorities have not released additional specifics regarding the victim or the exact nature of the assault. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the University of Oklahoma Police Department.
