A 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with assault last Tuesday in front of the Cancer Center after a UA employee reported he was harassing her.

Bobby R. Mayes, of the 2700 block of North Vista Road, was arrested after a woman reported to police that a man approached her in front of the Arizona Health Sciences Center and asked if she was single. When the victim said she was single, the man repeatedly asked her for a hug.

The victim said the man matched the description of a man who was reported in last week's Police Beat for allegedly harassing women on the UA Mall. Police approached Mayes, who said he had spoken to two women earlier in the day.
