A man was assaulted Wednesday night by two men, one of whom pulled a knife, authorities report. This follows incidents reported Friday and Sunday.
A third assault in a week on the campus of Kutztown University is under investigation, the Pennsylvania state school in Berks County announced on its website.
A man was hit from behind by another man about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday on Bell Plaza between Old Main and the administration building, the university's public safety department reports.
The victim fought back and another man joined in on the assault, authorities said. One of the assailants pulled a knife, authorities report. The victim continued to fight back and the men eventually fled into Kutztown, authorities said.
The assailants were wearing black hoodies and blue jeans, authorities said. Their faces were covered from their noses down, authorities said. One of the men wore tan Timberland boots.
It was unclear if the victim were injured.

The Reading Eagle reports that on Sunday, a Kutztown student was assaulted by an unidentified male about 2:45 a.m. outside Dixon Hall, which is next to Deatrick Hall. The victim initially said he was robbed of his cellphone and wallet, but officials said university police later downgraded the incident to a simple assault after the victim said he found his cellphone and wallet, according to the newspaper.
