A group of students were having a gathering in the front yard of a home when a black Chevy Cruze stopped in front of the home.

“An occupant of the vehicle threw a firework into the front yard that burst among the students after the vehicle fled the scene,” the university wrote.

One student suffered minor injuries.

The university’s Department of Public Safety said a similar incident happened earlier this week, on Monday. Then, someone from the same Chevy Cruze got out of the car and tossed a firework into a crowd in the 200 block of Kiefaber Street.

In an update Saturday night the university said they identified the vehicle involved in the assault and issued a criminal trespass order to its occupants.
