ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Officials in Ann Arbor are urging people to be aware of their surroundings after two students were attacked Saturday night by a stranger near the campus of the University of Michigan.
The first assault happened just before 9 p.m. at the Starbucks located in the 200 block of State Street. Police said a man entered the shop, approached a student who was sitting and struck them in the back of their head with a chair.
Less than two hours later, police said a man approached a woman who was walking through West Park and began punching her several times.
Both of these encounters were unprovoked and neither victim knew the man who assaulted them, police said.
