UCPD is investigating an alleged drug-facilitated aggravated assault that occurred on Gayley Avenue on Wednesday. 
A UCLA student attended a party on the 600 block of Gayley Avenue – where UCLA’s fraternities are located – and saw someone add an unidentified powder to his drink before he was pressured to drink it, according to a Thursday UCPD Clery Timely Warning alert. 
UCPD does not know the identity of the perpetrator and if they are affiliated with UCLA, said Richard Mejia, the director of emergency communications and information, in an email statement. 
People with information related to the incident should contact UCPD, the alert stated.
