University of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ police are investigating a reported confrontation between a campus employee and someone who was asked to wear a face mask to protect public health.
The clash occurred Monday afternoon at a site police are not yet disclosing for investigative reasons, said Officer Jesus Aguilar, a spokesman for the University of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Police Department.
Officers responded to a report of a "verbal altercation," that erupted after someone was asked to wear a mask, Aguilar told the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in a phone interview Tuesday.
"We are investigating. I can't give details of who was involved or where it occurred on campus."
A wave of mask-based clashes has swept the country recently as store clerks, food servers and grocery cashiers report run-ins with customers who refuse to cover their faces to protect against the spread of coronavirus.
