A young Madison woman was sexually assaulted along the outskirts of campus Wednesday evening, according to a police report.
The 21-year-old victim was walking along the 2000 block of University Avenue around 7 p.m. when a stranger approached her from behind, lifted her skirt and touched her inappropriately, the report said. The woman then allegedly turned around, and the suspect ran westbound on University Avenue. The victim said it all happened within seconds.
Originally, several concerned citizens called the Madison Police Department when they heard the woman screaming, the report said. Later, the victim called the MPD herself and reported the incident.
The suspect is described as male, between 5'5'' and 5'6'' and of average build. He is said to have medium-length brown or black hair. The victim also said the man was wearing a green hooded sweatshirt with baggy blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
