University of Iowa officials issued a crime alert Saturday after receiving a report about an incident in a woman's residence hall Thursday.

According to the report, a man entered an east side residence hall room early Thursday, climbed a sleeping woman's lofted bed, grabbed her ankles and pulled her blankets. When confronted, the man fled the room.
