A man allegedly threw an aluminum water bottle at a UC Berkeley student Thursday evening on campus, causing minor injuries to the victim’s face.

At about 5:09 p.m., the female student was approached by a man at "the northeast exterior of the Haas Pavilion," according to a UCPD crime alert.

The man asked the student if she was going to the protest on Sproul Plaza, and when the victim answered "no," the suspect yelled at her.
"People like you are the reason that California is in debt," he said, according to the crime alert.

The suspect then allegedly threw a full aluminum water bottle at the victim’s face. The victim then called UCPD and refused medical treatment for the bruise on her cheek. UCPD officers responded to the scene and checked the area, but could not locate the suspect.

The suspect was described as a white or Hispanic male in his early 20s, wearing a brown and green knit cap with earflaps and strings, a black coat and dark pants.
