UW Oshkosh police say the attack of a student near campus this week is a reminder that people need to be aware of their surroundings. A 27 year old Oshkosh man was arrested in connection with multiple incidents Sunday including a sexual assault. UW Oshkosh police captain Chris Tarmann says bystanders thwarted an attack of a student near Campus Sunday morning when they intervened. Tarmann says there are a number of safety options for students including a UWO Mobile app and easy to use “blue lights” emergency kiosks that are a direct link to university police. Tarmann says the UW Oshkosh police department also has a CSO Safe Walk program for students. Tarmann says when you walk choose an open, well-lit and well-traveled area. be aware of your surroundings at all time, make eye contact with passers-by and glance occasionally behind you. If a person starts chasing you run to the nearest place where there are other people and call for help.
