A female student was fondled while trying to get a drink from a water fountain Sunday morning at Forest Quad, according to IU Police Department reports.\nThe student told officers she walked out of her room around 4:30 a.m. and headed toward a drinking fountain. As she approached the fountain, an unidentified black male came out of another room and started talking to her, said Sgt. Craig Munroe, reading from a police report. The woman did not know the man and ignored him.\nThe male put both hands around her and held her against the wall, face-forward, so she could not move, according to the police report.\n“She could feel the subject breathing on her neck and started feeling her stomach,” Munroe said. “She pulled away and started to walk away, but he kept touching her.”\nAnother person came out of the person’s room and into the hall to tell the male to leave her alone, Munroe said.\nThe woman was able to get back to her room, but the male stuck his foot in the door in an attempt to gain entry. Eventually, the woman’s roommate was able to scare off the man and lock the bedroom door, Munroe said.\nIUPD has a suspect for the incident, Munroe said, but they have yet to speak with him.
