Police at Cal State Fullerton are looking for a jogger they say attacked a student over a face mask disagreement.

Authorities have released a surveillance photo of the suspect after Wednesday's incident.

The student says he was walking to work when a jogger on campus started questioning him about his face mask, then crossed the street and attacked him and used a racial slur.

 "I also started like, defending myself, throwing a bit of punches, pushing him off of me," said Joseph Munoz. "And it brings a lot of emotions... Anger, fear."

Police and other Cal State students say they're are taking the attack seriously, and officers are searching for the suspect.
