After a female Georgetown student was allegedly assaulted last week over her perceived sexual orientation, a male student is now recovering from another bias-related attack, The Hoya reported yesterday.
According to a Public Safety Alert from the Georgetown Department of Public Safety, witnesses told DPS they saw a student walking near 36th and N Streets assaulted by an unknown male early Sunday morning.
“Immediately prior to the assault, the suspect asked the victim several times, ‘Are you a homo?’ The suspect fled the scene after physically assaulting the victim,” the report states.
The student was taken to Georgetown Hospital and has been treated for his injuries and released. Witnesses reported the incident around 1:32 a.m. Sunday and the suspect in the crime is described as a white male wearing red and white face paint and a black leather jacket.
Metropolitan Police were notified of the incident and the incident summary from DPS says an investigation is ongoing.
About 50 students held a demonstration at Georgetown’s Red Square Sunday night to protest the reported assaults, according to The Hoya. Members of GU Pride also held a meeting to discuss campus security and the University’s response to the incidents.
Anyone with information about this incident or others can contact DPS at (202) 687-4343.
