Just minutes ago, the university released a TU Advisory stating that Temple Police and the Philadelphia Police Department are investigating an attempted rape of a female student on the 1500 block of W. Oxford Street that took place last night.

The woman was walking home while talking on her cell phone at approximately 11:15 p.m., when an unknown male forced her to the backyard of her property, according to the advisory. A pedestrian began yelling, causing the man to run southbound on Sydenham Street.

While the advisory states the woman was not hurt, the man was not caught and no suspects have been listed.

The male is described as being of dark complexion, with black hair, and about 5 feet, 10 inches tall.
