A transgendered Cal State Long Beach graduate student, Colle Carpenter, reported to University Police on April 15, 2010 that a suspect encountered the student in the Lecture Hall 151 restroom, slashing his chest with a sharp object. Police have not said whether the attack was because the student is transgender, and are continuing their investigation.

Carpenter classifies the attack as a hate crime and says the suspect carved the word "it" on his chest.
