A man was arrested after allegedly breaking into two different dorm rooms and groping women on the campus of Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland, Washington, police said Sunday.
The university told students that Campus Safety had received "two separate calls from two students who reported having been sexually assaulted in South Hall by the same unknown assailant," according to CBS affiliate KIRO-TV.
The first woman was woken up around 4:15 a.m. local time when she noticed someone in her room watching her and her roommate sleeping, the Pierce County sheriff told CBS News in a statement. According to police, the woman got up to check her closet and the man grabbed her. She began hitting him and screaming at him to leave, police said, and the man fled.
