A Villanova University basketball player is under investigation for an assault that occurred early Sunday morning in a residential area of Upper Merion Township, police said.
JayVaughn Pinkston, a freshman forward from Brooklyn who was a McDonald's All-America and named New York state’s Player of the Year last year, has not been charged in the assault, though police “are looking into his involvement within this incident,” said Upper Merion Sgt. Jeffery Maurer.
Police responded to Bryn Mawr Hospital around 3:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of an assault that had occurred at a house on Keebler Road near Langdale Court in the township, Maurer said. He would not release the age or condition of the victim, except to say that he has already been released from the hospital. Maurer also declined to confirm that the victim was a Villanova University student.
