By Rhoda Fukushima rgfukushima@pioneerpress.com
University of Minnesota police are looking for a man suspected in three incidents of sexual assault on the University of Minnesota's West Bank on Thursday morning.
Police said the criminal sexual contact involving inappropriate sexual contact happened around 8:30 a.m. In each case, the man rode up to the woman on a bike, reached from behind and grabbed her genital area, according to police.
In the first case, the female student was walking on the West Bank Plaza near Anderson Hall when the assault occurred. He fled on the bike toward Wilson Library.
Minutes later, the man assaulted another female student near 19th Avenue South and Washington Avenue.
The man fled and the second victim saw him do the same thing to a third woman nearby. That victim has not yet contacted police. Police are encouraging her to do so as soon as possible.
The man is described as black, about 29 to 39 years old, with a tall, thin build and dark complexion. He was wearing a green hat, brown coat, white tennis shoes and sunglasses. He was riding a red bike.
Campus police are investigating these incidents as well as a similar assault Dec. 9.

A woman walking though the Overture Center parking ramp Tuesday morning protected herself from attack by kicking the perpetrator in the groin.
Around 10:30 a.m., the 28-year-old Stoughton woman was walking from her car to the stairwell on the second level of the parking ramp when she noticed two men hidden in the stairway.
According to Joel DeSpain, spokesperson for Madison Police Department, the woman did not pay much attention to the men.
The victim was then pulled to the ground by one perpetrator. To free herself, she kicked her foot into the perpetrator’s groin.
“Certainly she’s shaken up by this, and it’s got to be very scary and very alarming, but I don’t think she’s physically injured,” DeSpain said.
The victim ran to safety and dialed 911, and MPD was immediately dispatched to the site.

Two apartments robbed at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo

Two apartments robbed at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo
A scary night for one college student, after his door is kicked in and he is taken against his will.
At about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, officers were called out to the 1200 block of Murray Street in San Luis Obispo.
"I was able to hear the cops breaking up the fight. I could hear them talking through their speaker but I didn't know it was a fight at the time," said Cal Poly student Phoebe Pynchon, who lives in the complex.
Investigators said it was like something out of a movie. Police officers were dispatched to the apartment complex, where they said a man kicked in the front door of a 19-year-old Cal Poly student's apartment.
The victim told police that once the suspect was inside, he showed off his gun and demanded the student's property. Investigators said when he wasn't satisfied, he took the student at gunpoint to a neighbor's apartment and kicked in that door and began to take things.
"That's a little scary. That's more extreme than anything I've heard of going on this street," said Pynchon.
Investigators said before officers arrived, the apartment manager fought off the suspect, who then ran away.

A Southern Utah University student was arrested this week on suspicion of kidnapping a classmate and trying to rape her.
The victim, 22, accepted the man's invitation to watch a movie at his home in Cedar City after a date Sunday, said Cedar City police Sgt. Jerry Womack.
Instead, the man, 21, grabbed the woman by her hair and dragged her to his bedroom, Womack said. He threatened her with a knife, molested her and "made several attempts" to rape her throughout the night, Womack said. The woman fought him off until morning, when she persuaded the man to let her go, Womack said. The victim and the suspect both are international students from South Korea, he said.
He was charged Tuesday with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and attempted forcible sodomy, all first-degree felonies.
