The alleged victim, who apparently knew the three men, refused medical help.
ASSAULT AND BATTERIES
An unidentified male allegedly assaulted three male BU students outside 7-Eleven at 501 Park Drive on Oct. 1. The victims described the suspect as white, 6 feet tall and 200 lbs. with blond hair, blue jeans and a light blue or white button-down collared shirt.
The suspect punched one student in the face, one in the nose and kicked another in the butt. The suspect then fled into BU housing at 509 Park Drive. The victims admitted to drinking before the assault, refused medical help and chose not to press charges.
A male suspect allegedly assaulted a female jogger on Commonwealth Avenue near University Road at around 7 p.m. on Oct. 6. A second male intervened on her behalf, and the jogger and assailant both fled the scene. BUPD is asking the man who intervened to step forward and aid in the investigation.

YOU BOOZE, YOU LOSE

SIX PACK
Six students were taken to local hospitals due to alcohol-related illnesses over the past week. A resident assistant who wished to remain anonymous said university policy requires RAs to call police whenever they find a student vomiting due to alcohol.
‘[The policy] is a result of incidents as well as civil actions against colleges around the country,’ St. Hilaire said.
