Rutgers University Campus Investigates Late-Night Aggravated Assault Incident Near College Avenue

Rutgers University Police are hunting for a suspect in a Saturday morning serious attack on the New Brunswick campus.

Around 1:30 a.m., a campus alert reported the event near Seminary Place and College Avenue. Student or university affiliations argued with many. One group member fled and assaulted the victim during that dispute. After non-life-threatening injuries, the victim sought hospital treatment. The attacker fled and is missing.

Rutgers’ New Brunswick campus features academic and residential buildings near the assault scene. Seminary Place lies between College Avenue and George Street, Murray, Van Dyck, and Scott Halls. Dorms, classrooms, and student centers on College Avenue, a campus highway. The university police department has requested witnesses and videotapers to come forward to safeguard campus safety and speed up investigations due to the central campus location and time of night.

Few suspect details are available in the investigation. Anyone with knowledge regarding the event should call the university police detective bureau, according to campus administrators. The request underlines the need for heightened attention during off-peak and late-night school events when visibility and witness presence may be reduced.

This event shows that even on a secured campus, conflicts can have dire repercussions. University security is reviewing patrol and lighting methods to prevent mishaps. They advise students and staff to report suspicious behavior and employ campus safe-ride or escort programs after hours.

Rutgers University students and staff should stay attentive and offer information about the assault inquiry. University police underlined that community engagement helps secure campus and convict offenders.
