An Edison High School student was assaulted Tuesday morning on her way home from a school event, Interim Principal Irene Cruz said in a letter to families. The teenage girl was walking home and entered an elevator when an unknown suspect also walked in and assaulted her.
Once the elevator doors opened, the teenage girl escaped and called police. After an unsuccessful search, the suspect remains at large, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
San Antonio police responded just before 8:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Alametos Street after a 16-year-old girl reported someone had assaulted her, according to the preliminary report.
Officers are investigating whether the student was potentially followed from the campus area, Cruz said. After Tuesday’s assault, the campus and neighborhood saw heightened security by increasing patrols, Cruz said.
Student safety is a top priority at San Antonio Independent School District schools, and we want to keep families informed of situations as soon as we are able, Cruz added.
