A student employee in the Administration building, 1401 E. University Blvd., called police after he was verbally harassed by a Tucson man Wednesday.At 4 p.m., someone approached the employee and began shouting at him and "called him a 'faggot,' 'chickenshit' and challenged him to 'step outside,'" police reports stated. The victim's restraining order against the suspect had recently expired.
