Update: The woman has since posted on social media indicating that she is physically unharmed.
A self-proclaimed third-year student — name unknown — alleged this evening on campus that she was assaulted by university RCMP.
In a video published on YouTube this evening, a young female is pictured sitting on the rooftop of the Thunderbird Parkade, yelling, “I was assaulted by the RCMP April 28, 2015. I am a third-year university student. I was assaulted by police April 28, 2015.”
The video is 26 seconds long, only showing the woman sitting on the ledge from across the street with several police cars and an ambulance shown parked at the base of the building.
