A UC Berkeley student was sexually assaulted on campus earlier this month, police said Friday.
The assault happened in the student's home on Jan. 6 and was committed by someone the student knew, according to University of California police.
The student had met the other person in a cafe earlier that day, and the two of them went back to the student's home on campus after the cafe closed, police said. That's when authorities say the person sexually assaulted the student.
An alert University of California police posted Friday did not say whether authorities have arrested a suspect since the assault occurred. It did not provide a description of the assailant or say whether the person is a UC Berkeley student.
Police did not immediately respond to a call seeking more information about the case Saturday morning.
