Police are reporting that a 27-year-old transgender student at CSU Long Beach was slashed in a men's room on campus earlier this month.

Although the attack took place ten days ago, the university only made it public this Friday.

The student's assailant addressed him by name before the attack, asking him whether he was that person. The victim of the assault did not recognize his attacker, but was able to provide police with information enabling them to create a sketch.
