According to the report, police made contact with a UV resident who said "she was asleep in her room when a male dressed in black entered her room and said 'shh' and then attempted to assault her."
The resident yelled out "stop" and "don't" and then hit the man, she told police. He responded by hitting her in the face and running out of the dorm, according to the report.
The woman's roommate "was in her room at the time and did not see anything, but heard yelling and footsteps running out of the dorm," the report said. The roommate then "locked herself in her room and called 911."
The police report lists no description for the suspect, other than saying he was dressed in black. The incident took place at 4:31 a.m., according to the police report. The suite, which was identified in the police report, was located on the southern side of UV in the area commonly known as "the valley."
Campus Security reported making contact with Omaha police who were responding to the incident at 4:40 a.m. The campus crime log states only that the police responded to "a 911 call regarding an attempted sexual assault" at University Village.
A resident living in the same building said she was upset that neither Campus Security nor UV's management company, Campus Century Housing Inc., informed residents of the incident.
The Gateway received a copy of the Omaha police report late Wednesday evening after seeing the entry in the campus crime log. No one was available to respond from Campus Security or Campus Century Housing Inc. before press time.
"I feel like even if it hadn't been in my building … it does need to be brought to people's attention," the resident said Wednesday night shortly after being told of the incident. "It pisses me off that nobody told us about it."
