The police department at Cerritos Community College was investigating this week an attempted sexual assault inside one of the school's bathrooms.
According to a safety alert issued by the Cerritos College Police Department, a man-- estimated to be about 40-45 years-old-- approached a male student around 9:15 a.m. on Monday inside a restroom in the Social Science building.
The student, who was using the restroom at the time, was approached from behind by the man "which his genitals exposed," according to the alert.
