A Johns Hopkins University student was sexually assaulted in an elevator at he Northway Apartment building located at 3700 North Charles Street, according to university Executive Director of Communications and Public Affairs Dennis O’Shea, confirming a report by Investigative Voice.

According to information O’Shea provided from the incident report, the student entered through the front entrance of the building and held the door open for an unidentified male, who entered the elevator with her and proceeded to touch her buttocks.  O’Shea also added that the student was an undergraduate.

“Upon reaching the sixth floor the man ran from the elevator to the stairwell and flew,” O’Shea told the Brew. The Northway Apartments are not official university housing, though many Hopkins students live there.

“I really don’t know anything other than what was in the incident report earlier today,” said O’Shea.  “It’s off campus so we’ve assisted but we’re not the investigating agency.”

The Northway Apartments did not return a phone call requesting comment.
