U.Va. football player assaulted on the Corner

University football player Vic Hall was assaulted in a parking garage on Elliewood Avenue Saturday night, according to Charlottesville Police Capt. Chip Harding.

Harding said while the police are still investigating the incident, they believe Hall, a junior cornerback, was struck on the head with a bottle in the parking garage next to the Biltmore. He was treated for minor injuries at the University Medical Center and released. No other individuals were admitted to the hospital.

Police are still interviewing witnesses to determine whether a fight took place and what may have been the cause, Harding said. They have received several reports of shots fired in the area, but police are not certain that the reports are related to this incident. No arrests had been made as of press time.

The University athletic department declined to comment on the incident.
