The University of Arizona Police Department is investigating an assault near campus, and reminding students and staff to remain vigilant.
According to UAPD, the incident happened early in the morning on Tuesday, Jan 30. Police say a woman was walking near Adams St. and Fremont Ave. when she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man.
Officers currently do not have a suspect in custody and say the woman was not affiliated with the university. At this time, police have not connected this incident to the string of attacks and attempted kidnappings back in December.
UAPD is also reminding students and staff of various safety resources available including:

- Night Cat: Affiliated with Lyft; eligible students can request up to 6 free rides per month.
