Five months ago at a dance on campus, Kshitij Shrotri, the alleged attacker, became incensed when he saw a woman he liked dancing alongside Samer Tawfik.

According to a Georgia Tech police report, Shrotri yelled in an undetermined foreign language and then pushed Tawfik several times.

Police say the unidentified woman considered filing a protection order against Shrotri, but decided that would only aggravate him.

That report last September notes that Shrotri, who earned a Ph.D. from Tech in 2008, had moved to Delaware.

Tawfik, underwent surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital following the attack.
