The UK Police Department issued a crime bulletin Friday evening warning students of a racial bias harassment incident. 

In the campus-wide email, police said a female student was walking at 10:26 p.m. Thursday on Huguelet Avenue between Rose Street and S. Limestone Street when two white males in a silver four-door car drove past her and threw water on her and made a “derogatory racial slur.”

Police think the car is the same one involved in similar incidents in The 90 area. Earlier on Thursday, drivers of that car threw water on other students. 

Anyone with information about this case can contact UK police at (859) 257-8573.

Anyone who has been a victim of violence or wants to end violence on campous, the Violence Intervention and Prevention Center can be reached at (859) 257-3564.
