However, one of the unknown individuals abruptly and without warning began screaming vulgarities and then physically attacked the victim. The suspect punched the victim approximately six times. As the victim attempted to shield themselves, the suspect struck approximately five more times and the victim was knocked to the ground. The suspect then put the victim in a headlock. A passerby intervened, and both of the unknown individuals fled west on Waverly Place. \nAs a result of the assault, the victim suffered a broken nose, bruised eye, and a laceration of their left eyebrow. The NYPD and EMS responded to the scene and the victim was transported to the hospital where they were treated for their injuries. \nDescription of Suspect: The suspect was described as male-presenting with a light complexion, approximately 5'7\" with dark hair. The victim described the suspect's race/ethnicity as white, wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans.  \n\nThis assault is being actively investigated. If you have any additional information about this incident, we urge you to contact the NYPD at 1(800) 577-TIPS and NYU Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222.\n\nPlease Remember These Safety Tips:\n\nBe aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone. \nWalk in groups whenever you can.
