On 9/23/12 at 1:40am, the University Police received a report of a fight in progress at Dinallo Heights outside of Einstein Hall.  When officers arrived the physical altercation had ended and two individuals were treated at the scene.   These individuals reported that they were speaking to three white males (described below) who were unknown to them.  Through extensive interviews it was determined that the three males approached the two individuals and attempted to sell narcotics to them.   The two individuals refused and attempted to walk away from the area.  The two individuals reported they were then assaulted by the three white males and one of the two individuals sustained injuries to the face.  The three males then fled the area in an unknown direction. 

Two of the males being sought are described as white males, ages 18 to 25, of a slim build wearing grey shirts and jeans.  The other male being sought is described as a white male of a heavy build, age 18-25 wearing a short sleeve white shirt and blue jeans.
