SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A Syracuse University student was allegedly assaulted and verbally harassed on Thursday, December 18, and authorities are still looking for the suspect.

He got into an argument with another man and it turned physical. The police were not initially called. When the victim went to the doctor the next day, he had at least one break to his nose. 

The suspect is described as a man about six-feet-two inches tall, with a thin build, and blond hair. He was also wearing a peacoat.
