Police arrested a 29-year-old man after seven women reported being sexually assaulted at the University of Huddersfield. The incident has prompted an ongoing investigation and support for those affected, as police and the university work to reassure students and staff.

West Yorkshire Police said the assaults took place between 6pm and 6.30pm on Tuesday, after a man approached and touched the women. Campus security called 999, and the women were able to get away; the suspect was later arrested in Huddersfield and remains in custody on suspicion of sexual assault.
