A University of Minnesota student was sexually assaulted early Saturday morning in Dinkytown.
The student had left a friend’s apartment when she was either forced or willingly got into a vehicle at about 2 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street Southeast and 14th Avenue Southeast, according to a crime alert sent to the University community Monday.
The suspect drove her to an unknown location and sexually assaulted her, the alert from University police Chief Greg Hestness said.
