lights and sirens

A University of Arizona employee was attacked by two men at the Student Union Memorial Center Saturday, police say.

At 8:10 a.m., UA police officers responded to the aggravated assault, finding the injured employee inside a building.

The employee told officers the men came out of a locked room and attacked them with an "edged weapon," a police news release said.

They are being treated for non-life threatening injuries. 

Police believe both suspects are college-aged men. One is believed to have blonde hair and last seen wearing a red shirt and basketball-style shorts. 

The other college-aged man was last seen wearing a gray tank top and jogging pants.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call UAPD at (520) 621-8273. Anonymous tips can be shared by calling the tip line at (520) 621-8477.
