A female student was assaulted on the Kennesaw State University campus Friday morning, authorities said.
An emailed statement from the university said the attack occurred around 6 a.m. at the KSU Place student housing, near the victim's vehicle. A text alert sent earlier to Kennesaw State students said it was a sexual assault, but officials are now saying the nature of the attack is unclear.
The attacker was described as a black male with dreadlocks, wearing a ski mask, a dark-colored sweater, jeans, colorful Nike tennis shoes and a dark-colored watch. He was driving a older-model silver car, possibly a Honda Civic, the alert stated.
The suspect remained at large, the statement said.
The description of the suspect was similar to that of a man involved in two attacks in Atlanta this week.
Arlethia Perry-Johnson, Kennesaw State's vice president for external affairs, said the KSU Police Department has shared details of the incident with other metro police departments, including Atlanta police.
