Two women living in the same house less than a mile from the Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick reported being sexually assaulted within 24 hours over the Halloween weekend.
Cops are searching for the perp who crawled through an unlocked window in the early morning hours this weekend and “inappropriately touched” the sleeping victims inside the home, according to the Rutgers University Police Department.
The first attack unfolded around 3 a.m. Saturday when the victim, who’s affiliated with Rutgers, was sleeping and injured during the assault, police said.
The second attack happened in the same home at 2 a.m. Sunday when another woman, who’s also affiliated with Rutgers, awoke to a man sexually assaulting her.
The victim chased the suspect out of her home, who was reportedly about 5 feet, 8 inches tall with brown skin and wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt, police said. She was injured during the attack.
