Earlier today, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) issued a Public Safety Informational Notice regarding two incidents that occurred last weekend. Regretfully, DPS omitted important information in our original notice. As always, we work hard to capture and communicate the most accurate information and pertinent details when a crime occurs.
As a clarification to that communication, we want our campus community to be aware that three females (not two as previously reported) were present during the incident that occurred on Sunday, Oct. 13 in the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue. The victim, a Syracuse University student, was walking by the three females when one of the females turned, confronted the student, knocked the student down and kicked the student in the head, causing a facial injury.
If you have any information regarding this incident or others, please contact the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety at 315.443.2224. If you would like to anonymously report NON-EMERGENCY information for DPS, you can use the Silent Witness tool.
If you or someone you know has been affected by an incident on or near campus, please know that there are resources available to you. In addition, for your safety, please review these suggested safety strategies.
This public safety information is issued for your safety in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act.
