Temple Police were called early Friday, Oct. 28, regarding a domestic assault involving two Temple students near Cecil B. Moore Avenue and Sydenham Street. The incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. and was reported by police at 3 a.m.

“We met a female student at 1520 West Cecil B. Moore around 3 a.m. who stated a male she was in a relationship with grabbed her by the arms and shoved her. The officers observed marks on the complainant’s arm where she said she was grabbed,” Charles Leone, deputy director of Campus Safety Services, said in an email.
