Transgender Attack In Bathroom

A transgendered 27-year-old male was attacked in the KKJZ Cal State Long Beach restroom a little over a week ago.

According to a campus police crime alert, on April 15 around 9 p.m. a man in a black hooded sweatshirt called the victim by name, threw his shirt over his head, pushed him against the wall, and slashed his chest with a sharp object. The suspect fled the scene and an investigation is underway.

Captain Solorzano said that the suspect used an exacto knife and the cuts were small.

Police described the suspect as a 20-year-old Caucasian male, about 5 feet 10 inches and thin. See picture for a sketch of the attacker.

Bikes are popular

The weather has been beautiful, and would be perfect for a bike ride. Perhaps this is what thieves at Cal State Long Beach are thinking.

During the last week campus police have logged 10 accounts of bicycles or bicycle parts being stolen.

On April 16 at 3:57 p.m. someone reported their bicycle seat missing, according to the Activity Log.

For 100% property security the campus may need to issue bicycle size lockers.

He Pushed Me

Think students are the only ones with drama? All the construction has the workers pushing and shoving each other.

One man working on the nursing area, parked his car in Lot 17 (which is next to the nursing area, click link for a construction map) and refused to move it when asked to by a construction worker from another company who needed to work on the lot, according to Lt. Scott Brown.

He then pushed the owner of the car, but before a fight broke out, the co-workers from the two companies split the men up, said Brown.

The case is being investigated, and the man who did the pushing could be facing misdemenor charges for battery, which could result in jail time, according to officials.

Although no one was hurt, the law is the law. It is illegal to purposely touch someone in a violent, painful, hurtful or offensive way, according to experts. This can include spitting on someone or poking them with a finger.
