A battery was reported on the Engineering Quad south of Grainger Library on Nov. 22 at approximately 7:15 p.m.

The victim was injured after two suspects knocked him down and then kicked him in the face and on both sides of his body, according to a campus-wide e-mail from Chief of Police Barbara O'Connor.

The two suspects are described as male and approximately 20 years of age. One suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and the other had on a grey hooded sweatshirt.

The University police are increasing patrols as a result of the crime. Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 217-333-1216.

Battery this time last year

I don't know if I am right about this, but I seem to remember hearing about a series of brazen batteries this time last year. Engineering Quad is not exactly an unsafe area, and 7:15pm is dark I realize, but it is not really that late.

DI, do a follow up on this story when people get back to campus. Especially since this happened to a guy, I think most guys disregard their own personal vulnerabilities.
