WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — The Purdue University Police Department is investigating the second report of sexual assault on the campus in less than a week.

The victim told campus police that she was walking home alone after leaving a party Saturday night when a man grabbed her and sexually assaulted her near the dining hall. She told campus police that the man eventually stopped assaulting her and ran away.

The victim said her attacker appeared to be a college student and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.

A 20-year-old man was arrested last week on charges he raped a woman visiting from Iowa at a fraternity house. The man has been suspended from school and barred from campus.
