The assault that occurred Friday evening around 6:30 p.m. in a Sears House shower is "not related" to a similar March 12 incident also involving a female student showering, Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety Mark Porter said Monday.
According to an e-mail sent to students Friday night by the Department of Public Safety, a female student was assaulted by an unidentified male holding a knife.
The suspect pushed the woman before fleeing the scene, according to the e-mail.
The incident in March involved a female student who was photographed by an unidentified man while she showered in a Diman House bathroom. The sorority Kappa Alpha Theta is located in Diman, while Sears House is home to Alpha Chi Omega, Brown's other sorority.
"There is no indication, at this point, that this incident is related to any previous incident on campus," Porter added in an e-mail.
The female student in Friday's incident was unharmed, Porter said, though the suspect remains at large.
"DPS and (Providence Police Department) detectives are following up on this incident," Porter wrote. "The investigation is ongoing."
Porter said the victim was able to give the police a detailed description of the suspect, which was included in the campus-wide e-mail.
