I write to inform you of an incident which poses a continuing risk to 
students and employees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The University of Illinois Police Department is investigating a report of 
battery that occurred on 11-22-09 at approximately 7:15 pm on the 
Engineering Quad south of Grainger Library.

The victim was walking when he was approached from behind and knocked to 
the ground.  While on the ground two male suspects kicked him in the face 
and on both sides of his body.  The suspects then ran west toward the 
tennis courts located at the corner of Wright Street and Springfield 
Avenue.  The victims jaw and eye were swollen from the incident.

The male suspects were described as approximately twenty years of age.  
One suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.  The other suspect was 
wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt.  The victim was unable to provide any 
other specific suspect information.

As a result of this crime, the University of Illinois Police Department 
is increasing patrols in the area and are working to gather additional 
suspect information.
