The student told police that she was near the Modern Languages building, 1423 E. University Blvd., sometime in October when she approached an unknown man and asked where the closest pay phone was located. The man told her where a phone could be found and then told the student about his plans to transfer schools, reports stated.

The student decided to tell police about the man Thursday, after she began noticing him walking in circles and staring at female students nearly every school day between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. outside of the Modern Languages building, reports stated.

Police told the student to call back if she sees the man again, reports stated.
