1. At 10:50 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 25, an undergraduate reported that while walking along South Plymouth Avenue, a black Nissan sped past her at a high speed.
According to UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty, as the student entered the walkway on the pedestrian bridge, the vehicle came speeding back the opposite way and pulled into Plymouth Gardens. The driver exited the car and started walking toward the bridge.
The undergraduate asked a nearby person on a bike to walk with her across the bridge. The suspect quickly closed the distance between them and tried to engage the woman in conversation. She refused to answer most of his questions and the suspect told her, in not-so-pleasant terms, to “screw off.” He then left the area and returned to his vehicle.
Security was contacted and checked the immediate and surrounding areas, but were not able to locate the suspect.
