Watch Where You're Walking

STATE COLLEGE -- Penn State student Matthew Melvin, 21, told police he was assaulted by two white men about his age about 2 a.m. Monday on the sidewalk in the 100 block of East Beaver Avenue.

Melvin made the report to police from Mount Nittany Medical Center, where he was treated for a swollen left eye and a chipped tooth. Police said Melvin told them that one of the two men walking toward him bumped into him and a pushing match occurred before Melvin was struck.

Police said Melvin told them that any time he gets struck, he does not remember much after the first punch. Police said they are treating the incident as alcohol-related.


I'm taking bets on who's more of a genius, the victim or the police.
