On Thursday, October 17 at approximately 11:46 p.m., two male Ohio State students were walking with a non-student female near 1728 N. High Street, a Clery reportable area. According to reports, one of four male suspects approached the female and made remarks to her that started a verbal altercation between the two groups. The male suspects then physically assaulted the two male students. Additionally, the suspects took cell phones and keys from the male students.
All three victims went inside an area bar for help and the four suspects fled the area in a silver sedan. The two male victims were transported to the Wexner Medical Center for lacerations to the head. The female victim did not sustain injuries.
