Summary
Olumuyiwa Akindahunsi, 29, faces six felony counts after prosecutors said he assaulted five women at UCLA in less than an hour on May 28; four of the victims were students.
11:30 p.m. attacks began on Bruin Walk, then moved through two dorm buildings, where authorities say he sexually assaulted two women, tried to sexually assault a third, and physically assaulted two others.
Campus police arrested him within minutes near a parking structure after witnesses flagged officers down and identified him; police said he had zip ties, duct tape and paracord.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the case struck at campus safety and vowed prosecution; Akindahunsi, who is not a UCLA student, is being held without bail.
