My boyfriend and I were assaulted last night.
You’ve likely seen my boyfriend’s post but last night at 2am when we were walking home from the bar, a group of teenagers (15-19) had harassed us. Initially they threw a beer can at us from a car and we didn’t even realized what happened until afterwards. the second interaction, they parked in the commuter lot by houston hall on campus and chased us down, shouting profanities and slurs. My bf made a ‘yo momma’ joke which seemed to get their panties in a twist as two of them got in his face and threatened him, though ran away back to their car and drove away. They then harassed us a third time going north on 12th st. They pulled into the top of the parking lot garage by the gym and threw eggs, and approached us again while yelling profanities and insults. I was on the phone with the cops when my boyfriend bear hugged one of them. He did not hurt him, just quite literally bear hugged him. The other group of teenagers that were originally in the car throwing eggs came out and pulled my boyfriend off of the bear hug and held him to the fence before throwing about a dozen punches to his face. They then fled after realizing i was on the phone with police.
We gave our statements to the cops when they arrived and they are actively investigating.
Please be safe, people have become so cruel and evil, and it’s scary seeing how young these kids were and just how disgusting they were. Please let a friend or family know where you are when walking at night.
