University of Utah warns students of an overnight assault near library

Police at the University of Utah say someone reported being sexually assaulted late Monday near the Marriott Library, but are disclosing few other details.

Campus police notified students and staff early Tuesday through the university’s alert system. The alert said the assault happened “in the area west of the Marriott Library" about 10:30 p.m. The episode was reported to police “just after midnight," the alert said.

The alert did not describe the assault and said there was no suspect description at this time, but anyone with information can call campus police at 801-585-2677. That’s also the number to call for anyone wanting a security escort on campus.
