UC Davis police are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspects involved in two separate incidents - one of attempted sexual assault and one of battery - that occurred on campus Thursday night and this morning.
A female student was the victim of an attempted sexual assault Thursday and a groundskeeper was the victim of a battery today, according to a UC Davis Police Department release.
Neither victim required medical care, according to the release.
At about 7:40 p.m. Thursday, a female student left a classroom and was walking on Cushing Way on the east side of the UC Davis campus when a man came up behind her and tried to wrestle her to the ground, according to the release.
The woman fought back, freed herself and called police, the release said.
The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt and pants of an unknown color.
At about 5:30 a.m. today, near an equipment shed on the west side of campus, a UC Davis groundskeeper encountered an unknown man who punched him, leaving him with minor injuries, the release said.
The suspect then fled north toward The Colleges at La Rue, according to the release.
The suspect is described as a tall white male in his 20s with a thin build, wearing a black baseball cap and a dark or black sweater and pants.
Anyone with information about these two incidents is asked to call police at (530) 752-1930 or the Crime Tip Line, which allows callers to be anonymous, at (530) 752-9944.
Call The Bee's Matt Kawahara, (916) 321-1015.
