On Wednesday, February 19, 2003 at approximately 7:30 pm, a female walking in the area of Siemens Hall (near the HSU Library) was grabbed by an unknown male who came out of the bushes. The female was able to get free and flee. She was not injured. The suspect's description is limited: male, in his 30s, wearing "raggedy" clothes. Anyone who may have information or observations about this incident is encouraged to contact the University Police Department.
