A tipster reports that Public Safety just made an arrest on College Walk. They saw six officers chase down a man on Low Plaza, handcuff him, and escort him into Low. Another bystander said they overheard the officers saying he had stolen a bike. There appeared to be no bike nearby.
We’ve contacted Public Safety, so check back for updates.
Update 3:06 PM:
In an email Vice President of Public Safety Jim McShane gave us the following information regarding this afternoon’s arrests:
There was an arrest made this afternoon of a known bike thief who was persona non grata on campus as a result of prior incidents, including at least one where he was arrested for stealing a bike. In the course of the arrest, three personnel from Public Safety received injuries. The specific charges are yet to be fully determined. That is all I have at this time.
