The Madison Police Department<\/a> has arrested a man for the brutal attack on a UW Madison College Student which happened early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

According to Dane County Jail booking records, Brandon Andre Thompson was arrested on Sept 6, 2023, at 12:24 a.m. on charges of first-degree reckless injury, strangulation, and first-degree sexual assault.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, a female college student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was left in critical condition after what police believed was a brutal and random attac<\/a>k downtown, Madison police say.<\/p>\n

The police chief, Shon Barnes, speaking in a news conference Sunday, called it a \u201csevere attack.\u201d She had \u201csevere signs of physical trauma,\u201d according to the chief. He said medical professionals are working to stabilize the victim, and so it\u2019s not yet clear the extent of her injuries, Barnes said. They haven\u2019t spoken to the victim yet, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman was found along the 500 block of W. Wilson St. around 3:20 a.m. A person living in the area called for police after noticing the victim was severely beaten,\u201d police wrote. There is a sidewalk and there are apartment complexes where the woman was found, Barnes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. She remains in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon,\u201d police wrote.\u00a0 \u201cDetectives and investigators are swabbing the area for biological evidence and recanvassing the area on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
