Students at UNLV are on alert after a reported attack on campus.

The attack happened Tuesday night when a female student was walking across a campus parking lot near Harmon Ave, according to the UNLV Police Department.

The attacker grabbed the student by her shoulders, pulled her backwards and hit her, police said.

Fortunately the student was able to escape, but so did the attacker.

Campus police say they will now increase patrols as investigators comb through surveillance camera video in hopes a clear image of the attacker will emerge.

They also warn students should stay vigil while walking around at night and to stick together.

"As the year progresses, it's getting darker earlier, so I would also remind them in terms of traveling on campus it's be better in pairs and if they see something, say something, doesn't matter what," said Asst. Chief Jeffrey Green of the UNLV Police Department. "That's why we're here, to respond."... Read More
