A student was assaulted on Wednesday, Jan. 17. at approximately 6:10 p.m., during the first week of instruction at Mission campus. The suspect, Gavin Vincent Yuille, is still at large.

The assault took place in a classroom on the second floor of the Bartlett building. According to an email sent out by Police Chief Mario Vasquez, Yuille is not a student at City College. No information has been given about the victim at this time. 

Police Chief Vasquez’s email also included Yuille’s description, photo, and a list of prevention tips. Campus police refused to provide any further information.
