That same week, on Nov. 15, a Harvard undergraduate and another person were victims of what they called a “gay-bashing” incident.
In the Nov. 15 incident—which resulted in one juvenile arrest—victims reported eight 12- to 14-year-old black males as the perpetrators.
On Dec. 12, a University employee reported that three males of high school age assaulted him while he was walking in the Yard around 4 p.m. and allegedly called the victim “faggot.”
Catalano said HUPD has made no arrests in these incidents, except for the Nov. 15 juvenile arrest.
On Dec. 14, two black males—one who was armed—robbed the Starbucks on Church Street around midnight.
The suspects tied up two of the employees, but Pasquarello said no one was injured in the armed robbery.
Pasquarello said CPD has made no arrests related to the case.
