Gerald Bryda, of the Newark Police Department, said. An unknown suspect entered the victim's residence in the 400 block of Apple Road and stole the victim's bicycle. The victim, a university student, told police the mountain bike was worth approximately $875, Bryda said. There are no leads or suspects at this time.

STUDENTS ASSAULTED AFTER PARTY Two university students were assaulted by several people after a party on Kershaw Street on Sunday at 3:03 a.m. Unknown suspects assaulted the victims, an 18-year-old female universi­ ty student and an 18-year-old male university student, causing injury to both, just off of Cleveland Avenue, Bryda said. The female victim was distracted by an unknown female. The suspect became upset, called the victim a name, and began to attack her, hitting her several times very quickly. The male victim attempted to defend the female victim by physically restraining the female suspect. As this occurred, the suspect screamed, caus­ ing additional suspects to exit a party and assault both victims, Bryda said. The victims were transported to Christiana Hospital, after receiving facial lacerations. One victim lost a tooth. No adequate descriptions were given; therefore there are no leads or sus­ pects at this time, Bryda said.
