FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Police are searching for a man who attacked a woman at the northwest corner of Ed Landreth Hall around 7 p.m. Sunday, according to a crime alert from TCU Police.
The suspect is described as a clean shaven Hispanic male with medium length dark hair. He is approximately 19-22 years of age, standing 5'8" and weighing 175 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with a bright colored design on the front and black basketball shorts.
The attacker demanded the victim's cellphone, according to the alert. When she refused, the man struck her four times with a hard object on the back of the head and threatened to shoot her.
