MADISON -- University of Wisconsin students were warned to avoid part of the campus in Madison after reports that a man with a knife grabbed two women, who were able to flee unharmed.

Campus police spokesman Marc Lovicott says police received two separate reports Wednesday of women on campus being grabbed from behind.

Officers are searching for the suspect, who is described as wearing a black long-sleeve T-shirt, red and white shoes and having a muscular build.
