Colle Carpenter, a transgender graduate student who was attacked on the campus of Cal State Long Beach, told a rally Thursday that his attacker carved the word "it" on his chest.
Carpenter was attacked the night of April 15 in a campus bathroom. At a march and rally protesting hate crimes, he said his attacker called him by his first name and then pushed him into a bathroom stall before carving his chest with a sharp object.
"I've been afraid to come back to campus," Carpenter told the rally.
Police are asking for the public's help in finding the assailant. Anyone with information is asked to call Long Beach Police at 562-985-4101.
