Many students on campus were creeped out when they heard what had happened.
"This is campus and we shouldn't be worried about these things because it is a college campus and it's just crazy that this goes on," said Marissa Gudiel.
"There are going to be these kinds of people everywhere," said Sheeba Ajwani, "It's just about you being more careful."
Surveillance cameras in the area captured a grainy image of the man who was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap and a T-shirt the Hard Rock Cafe logo.
