A woman’s face was cut by 

an unknown assailant Tuesday 

afternoon as she was walking on 

Liberty Street, according to the 

Ann Arbor Police Department.

The woman, who is in her early 

20’s, said she was walking down 

the street wearing headphones 

and was unaware if her attacker 

addressed her before cutting her 

face.

AAPD Sheriff Patrick Ouellette 

said the woman was walking from 

Angell Hall to Starbucks, and was 

attacked after leaving the cafe 

while headed eastbound on Liberty 

Street towards the Michigan 

Theatre. He could not confirm 

whether the woman is a University 

of Michigan student.

“She was walking up the 

sidewalk when the subject came up 

from behind her and scratched her 

left cheek with a safety pin he was 

holding in his hand,” Ouellette said.

The suspect then ran out 

towards State Street. He was 

described as a white male in his 40s 

wearing a black baseball cap and 

a dark colored hoodie with dark 

sweatpants. He could not confirm 

a motive.

“There was no conversation 

between the victim and the 

suspect, so it was unknown why 

he came up to her,” Ouellette said. 

“Why he did this, we don’t know.”

He added that the victim’s 

injuries were minimal, and the 

superficial wound over her cheek 

didn’t require stitches.

Ouellette said AAPD will 

pass the case on to their detective 

division to follow up on the case.

BLOOD BAT TLE

LSA senior Maddie Luros pours water on the chalk political slogans that Victor Sedlak, who stated he was a former student at Michigan State Univer-
sity, is in the process of writing as he stops to talk to another student on the Diag Tuesday.

Tuesday 
afternoon 
on 

the Diag, a man wrote both 
President-elect Donald Trump 

and Democratic presidential 
nominee 
Hillary 
Clinton’s 

campaign slogans in chalk 
with the aim of sending a 
message 
about 
oppression 

people face for expressing 
political viewpoints in the 

current climate.

The man, Victor Sedlak, who 

stated he was a former student 
at Michigan State University, 
said he first wrote Trump’s 
campaign 
slogan, 
“Make 

America Great Again,” and 

then 
Clinton’s 
campaign 

slogan, “Stronger Together,” 
on the Diag to gauge how 
people would react and 
illustrate how students of 
minority political views can 
face discrimination.

“People 
harassed 
me,” 

Sedlak said. “The general 
message is you can be 
conservative with liberals 
and no one is probably going 
to hurt you, and you can be 
liberal with conservatives 
and no one is probably going 
to hurt you. They won’t hurt 
you, but they will sure as 
shit discriminate against 
you.”

On 
Sunday 
night, 

hundreds 
of 
University 

of 
Michigan 
community 

members signed a petition 
condemning recent protests 
and vigils held on campus, as 
well as statements made by 
University administrators, 
over the election of Donald 
Trump for president. Over 
300 signed the petition as 
of Sunday night, showing
