FORT COLLINS — A recent attack in which a man put a damp cloth over a Colorado State University student’s face while she slept is similar to an April sexual assault on the same block.
At 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Fort Collins police were called to an apartment in the 1000 block of Andrews Peak Drive after a man tried to overcome a 20-year-old student while she slept, said Rita Davis, Fort Collins police spokeswoman.
The woman awoke after the suspect put a wet cloth over her face. She fought the man, who fled the apartment.
Police think the attacker entered the apartment through an unlocked door or window, Davis said. There was no evidence of a break-in, she said.
The victim said the man was about 6 feet tall and was wearing dark clothing, Davis said.
On April 23 about 3 a.m., someone entered an apartment occupied by three college-aged women on the same block and placed a cloth over the nose and mouth of a 19-year-old woman, Davis said.
She lost consciousness and awoke about 5 a.m., she said.
