RU-Alert: Aggressive Coyote near the Rutgers Preserve on 11/14/2019 at 4AM on Livingston Campus. A member of the Rutgers community reported being bitten by a coyote while walking on the footpath of Avenue E in the area of Hospital Road. The coyote ran out of the tree line and bit the victim. RUPD is working with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife to investigate. Avoid the area of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve. If you encounter an aggressive coyote, do not run; make yourself appear large, make loud noises, and call RUPD at 732-932-7211.
This text has been reconstructed from news coverage and may not reflect the exact original wording.
The subject-line fragment 'RU-Alert: Aggressive Coyote near the Rutgers Preserve on 11/14/2019 at 4AM on Livingston Campus' is reconstructed to match the directly quoted alert language reported by PIX11 and the Washington Times; the body is paraphrased from those accounts.
The instruction not to run and to appear large reflects standard wildlife-encounter guidance and is reconstructed; exact wording was not published verbatim.
Classified as an advisory rather than a Clery timely warning because an animal bite is not a Clery-reportable crime, even though RUPD investigated and the alert used the RU-alert channel.
