NEW BRUNSWICK -- A 19-year-old woman suffered a fractured skull after being punched in the face near a Rutgers fraternity house over the weekend, and her family is asking for help to identify the man who hit her.

Emily Rand, 19, of South Amboy suffered a fractured skull after being punched by a man in New Brunswick last weekend.

Emily Rand's aunt said her niece underwent surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on Thursday in an attempt to reduce bleeding in her brain, but that the teenager isn't making progress.

"Not yet," Debbie O'Connor said by phone Friday afternoon. "No improvement at all. She's still heavily sedated."

A video of the incident posted on social media and obtained by NJ Advance Media shows Rand take a swing at a man in the area of Robinson and Hamilton streets before the unidentified man punched her in the face.

Rutgers University police provided an alert about an attack at the same intersection at 1 a.m. Sunday that involved a person who suffered a head injury after being knocked to the ground, though it does not name the victim.

"In this incident the victim, who is not affiliated with the university, was struck in the face during a physical altercation and fell to the ground resulting in a transport to a local hospital. Several of the involved parties fled the area prior to police arrival and the description of the perpetrator is limited at this time," it said.

Rand's family, however, indicated she was injured sometime Friday night into Saturday.

O'Connor said Rand, a Middlesex County College student from South Amboy, was awake for a time Saturday but then had to be intubated. Rand faces "a month or two" in a rehabilitation facility whenever she is discharged from the hospital, according to her aunt.

O'Connor said she and her husband have had regular contact with the New Brunswick police, who have yet to charge anyone in the attack.

A message left for New Brunswick police Friday morning was not immediately returned.

The New Brunswick Police Department asks that anyone with information, or who may have been in the area at the time, to contact the detective bureau at 732-745-5217.
