Officials said the assaults, criminal mischief to nearby vehicles, and a host of other violations are still under active investigation. Surveillance footage is being reviewed and the local police department continues to work in conjunction with Monmouth University’s on campus police.

Officials are are asking anyone with information pertaining to the incident call headquarters at (732) 531-1113.
