While walking near Strathmore Drive and Levering Avenue by the UCLA campus on Saturday, a student was grabbed and sexually assaulted, reports ABC News.

The attack happened at about 7:00 p.m. The suspect, described as a white man about 30-35 years old, 6'1 and heavy set with a sunburned head and neck and brown hair, threw the woman into his car and assaulted her. She was able to get away after the attack, but the suspect remains at large.

The suspect was driving a 10-15 year-old white Honda Civic sedan. Anyone with information regarding this incident is being asked to call the UCLA Police Department at (310) 794-5824.
