The University Police Department responded to a report of an attempted sexual assault outside the Foggy Bottom Metro station early Sunday morning.
A man had allegedly attempted to sexually abuse a female student, University spokeswoman Maralee Csellar said.
Officers found the suspect hiding in the bushes near the station, and arrested him at about 3:20 a.m., according to GW’s crime log.
UPD was also informed at about the same time that another female student had reported that a man matching the same description had tried to pull her into the bushes near the Metro station, Csellar said.
“Since the suspect was immediately caught and arrested, no crime alert was issued, as there was no ongoing or imminent threat to the community,” Csellar said.
