Police at UCLA remain on the lookout for a man who assaulted someone at a campus facility on Thursday night.
The attack took place at about 8:30 p.m. at Ackerman Student Union, according to the UCLA Police Department.
The male victim, who is not affiliated with the university, reported that the suspect picked up a metal chair and tried to hit him with it, police said.
“The suspect also made threats to the victim and used racial slurs against him during the attack,” according to a police statement.
The victim suffered minor lacerations, police said, but it’s unclear if they were from the chair.
The suspect is described as white, about 40 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall and heavy set “with a large stomach.”
His face bore gray stubble, he wore a blue shirt and khaki shorts and had a black packpack, police said.
Anyone with information about the suspect was urged to call UCLA police at (310) 825-1491. Tips can also be left by calling the Anonymous Reporting Line at (310) 794-5824.
