On Sunday, September 22, Keene State College Campus Safety received a report about an assault that took place near the Student Center commuter lot. The victim sought medical treatment for their injuries.
The victim’s mother made a post on the KSC Parents and Family Facebook page. “I received a phone call from my son at 6:52 a.m. to let me know that he had been beaten up on campus walking back to his dorm. He was taken to the hospital with a mild concussion and scrapes and bruises,” the post states.
Campus Safety Officer Sergeant Jessica Trombley said KSC is currently working on the situation.
