Campus police want the public’s help in finding two people suspected in the violent mugging of a 31-year-old UW-Madison graduate student on Observatory Drive last week.
On Thursday, police took the unusual step of presenting the victim, Stephen England, who spent eight hours in the hospital after the attack, at a news briefing at the scene of the crime. He spoke about the case and made a plea for help in finding the pipe-wielding man who hit him multiple times and a female accomplice who may have helped the attacker get away in a red sedan.
