The Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) yesterday reported an assault on Colby Street outside of the Cousens Gym parking lot.
The incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. last night when a woman who is not a Tufts student was jogging in the area. An individual approached her, called her a "dyke" and punched her under her left eye, according to TUPD Sgt. Richard McConaghy.
The woman returned home and immediately reported the incident to Medford Police Department, which notified TUPD. The suspect has not been identified and the woman could only provide a rough description, McConaghy said.
There are currently no leads on the suspect. "Nobody saw anything," he said.
The Medford Police Department was not able to offer further details last night. A Medford officer said that the department referred the case to the detective's unit and will be working in conjunction with TUPD to pursue the suspect.
