Former University of Minnesota student Amanda Ebert reported being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend early Friday morning at the 800 block of Fourth Street Southeast.
The victim said she invited the 24-year-old suspect over to her house and that he âÄúseemed angryâÄù upon arrival. After the suspect refused to explain himself, the victim became upset and asked him to leave multiple times.
After a heated verbal exchange, Ebert asked the suspect to leave one last time before retreating to her room.
âÄúThatâÄôs when he got extremely aggressive towards me and intimidating,âÄù Ebert said. âÄúHe was yelling at me and pointing his finger and was inches away from my face.âÄù
Ebert said she defended herself by pushing the suspect away with her feet into her dresser. In retaliation, the man allegedly lunged at the victim, grabbed her by the neck and pushed her back, forcing her head to hit the wall behind her as he shouted expletives at her.
At that point Ebert called for her roommate who came and told the man he âÄúneeded to leave,âÄù Ebert said.
The suspect has not been charged and has tried to contact Ebert via text message since the incident.
