California State University Bakersfield is warning students after they say a woman was fondled without consent while walking on campus.

According to CSU Bakersfield, the incident happened around 6:45 p.m. on January 31. CSU Bakersfield says a woman was walking in Lot D on campus when she noticed someone following behind her. CSU Bakersfield says as the woman neared the north end of the lot, the man fondled her without consent. The woman flashed her phone light in the man's eyes and he ran north towards Stockdale Highway.

CSU Bakersfield says the man is described as a clean-shaven Hispanic male in his late teens or early twenties. CSU Bakersfield says he is about 5 ft. 5 inches tall with a thin build, dark complexion, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing dark denim jeans and a dark hoodie sweatshirt with the hood over his head. He was also last seen wearing a backpack and carrying a lunch bag.
