University Police are investigating an incident in a Keys Residential Complex building after one of the glass doors to the building was smashed Sunday night.
At about 9 p.m., Merced Fletcher, a UF political science senior, said she heard several men screaming outside building four in the complex.
"I opened the door and you heard him yell, ‘What the f--- did you do, bro?’" she said. "One was holding the other back, and then someone yelled, ‘Let him go, let him go,’ and then they ran off."
Fletcher then noticed the building’s front door, installed this semester, was shattered from top to bottom and a pile of glass was spread across the floor.
She believes one of the men might live in their complex or know someone who does.
"It doesn’t make sense to just randomly fight outside a place if you don’t live here," Fletcher, 22, said.
Allison Hasson, a UF psychology sophomore who lives with Fletcher, said she was in the shower when the glass broke.
"It sounded like a bomb going off or something," Hasson, 19, said.
Hasson said another resident told her a man got thrown into the door.
Catalina Ruiz, a UF public relations sophomore, lives on the second floor and said nothing was thrown at the door.
"We didn’t see anything on the floor, so they think someone might have smashed a person into the glass," Ruiz, 19, said.
UPD spokesman Maj. Brad Barber said reports point toward a battery involving two men.
While security cameras face both of the entrances in the building, he said it’s too early in the investigation to know what happened or whether the cameras captured anything useful.

One of the glass doors to the Keys Complex building was smashed late Nov. 8, 2015. University Police are investigating the incident, which Maj. Brad Barber said may have involved a fight between two men.
