UW Football Player Suspended After U-District Assault

The SeattlePI.com is reporting that UW Husky defensive end Andru Pulu has been suspended from the team for a "violation of team rules," days after a man claimed Pulu assaulted him at a party in the University District.

According to a police report, on March 7th, officers were called to the UW Hospital where a man told police he was trying to break up a fight at a party in the 5000 block of 15th Ave NE when another man punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, and stomped on his head. The police report indicates the man sustained a broken nose and fractured cheek bone in the assault, and had a visible boot print on his left temple.

The redacted police report does not name Pulu as the man's assailant, but sources have confirmed to Seattlecrime.com that he is a suspect.
