Police are investigating an aggravated assault that took place near Eastern Michigan University Monday, according to a release from EMU Police.
According to an e-mail release to the “campus community” this afternoon, an EMU student was assaulted by three men on the 800 block of Huron River Drive, near Ann Street at 9 p.m.
The release said the victim was approached by three suspects who began to punch and kick him until they were chased off by a passing pedestrian.
“The suspects fled in a dark colored vehicle on Huron River Drive,” the report said. “The victim was treated for his injuries.”
The victim described all three suspects as clean-shaven African American males with no hair on their head. The report said the suspects had a thin build, and stood between 6 feet and 5 feet-10 inches tall. All were reportedly wearing black pants. Two wore black shirts and one wore a white tee-shirt.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact the Ypsilanti Police Department at 734-483-9510.
