Police are looking for a sexual predator in the northern valley and they could use your help.
A female student at U.N.D. in Grand Forks was sexually assaulted this week and wasn't able to provide a description of the suspect.
UND Police say it happened at 8:30 Wednesday night, between Gillette and O'Kelly Hall on UND's campus. The victim told police she was walking back to her dorm, when the suspect approached her from behind, threw her on the ground and sexually assaulted her.
Police say the victim did not get a description of the suspect. So, they're asking anyone who might have any information about the assault to contact them.
In the meantime, police say students should take some simple precautions.
