Northern Virginia Community College sent out an alert that for the second time in a few days a female has reportedly been sexually assaulted on campus.

The description of the suspect and the location of the incident indicate that this is not the same person believed to have attacked another female on Oct. 18. The previous attack occurred at the Annandale campus, and that suspect was described as a black male, 6-feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds and in his early 20s.

Today’s alleged attack occurred around 7 p.m., on a pedestrian walkway near the north lot of the Loudoun campus, according to NOVA Alert. The suspect in this case is described as a Caucasian or Middle Eastern male, 5-foot 6-inches or 5-foot 7-inches tall, having an athletic build and dark, short, curly hair. He was reported to be wearing a dark-colored t-shirt with striped shorts that extended below the knees.

NOVA Police are leading the investigation. Anyone with information should contact NOVA Police at 703-764-5000.

The alert ended with advice for anyone on campus: “As always, be aware of your surroundings. It’s always better to walk in pairs and trust your instincts. Students, faculty and staff are asked to stay alert and report suspicious activity to NOVA Police.”
