Nolan Arenado was slugging his way through the month of May when the Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman woke up one morning with an ailment that's familiar to those who felt invincible in their 20s but have advanced to their mid-to-late 30s.

His back hurt.

Not bad. Not enough to keep him out of the lineup. But it was one of those inexplicable moments that comes with being an aging Major League Baseball player — threatening to derail a hot streak for an eight-time All-Star who just turned 35.

"There's more aches and pains," Arenado said. "There's just a little more work in the gym, getting prepared for the game, than there used to be. That's a learning curve.

"I've always been in the gym, always did that stuff, but there's definitely more maintenance."

Arenado got past the minor back issue and is continuing a bounce-back season in the desert, batting .256 with eight homers and 30 RBIs through Monday's games. He's among a group of the 35-and-older crowd getting solid results at the plate, joining Los Angeles Dodgers veterans Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, along with Houston's Christian Walker.

But it's a small club that's become smaller over the past decade.

MLB hitters who are 35 or older have combined to provide just 5.6 WAR (Wins Above Replacement, per FanGraphs) through roughly the first 1/3 of the season, continuing a trend that's accelerated over the past decade.

In the early 2000s, older stars were the norm in the big leagues. It peaked in 2003 when older hitters combined for 71.3 WAR, with a group highlighted by Barry Bonds, Frank Thomas, Kenny Lofton, Luis Gonzalez and Jeff Bagwell.

So what's changed?

Let's look at some of the reasons why MLB is skewing younger this days:

Baseball's analytical era can be traced back to the work of Bill James in the 1970s and 1980s, but terms like WAR, wOBA, BABIP, and OPS+ didn't start to become widespread in the big leagues until at least the late 2000s.

Suddenly, the eye test wasn't enough for MLB general managers. Cold, hard numbers were in.

And — overwhelmingly — those numbers showed that the best years for a big league hitter usually come from their mid-20s to early 30s.

That's directly correlated to MLB teams locking up young players to long-term contracts. Arizona's Corbin Carroll, Detroit's Kevin McGonigle, Pittsburgh's Konnor Griffin, Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr. and Seattle's Julio Rodriguez are among dozens of promising players who were signed to lucrative deals well before they reach free agency.

Spending on veterans is no longer in vogue. Walker — a three-time Gold Glove first baseman who has hit nearly 200 career homers — signed with the Astros for a relatively modest $60 million, three-year deal after the 2024 season when he was 33 years old.

"I think it has a lot to do with the ability to measure guys’ value on the field," Walker said. "For a long time, WAR didn’t exist, wRC+ wasn’t a stat, right? So, you went off of the optics or this guy’s a good clubhouse guy or he’s got experience, he’s been to a World Series."

Today's young stars have come of age in a game where velocity is king, but it wasn't that way when Freeman and others broke through. The average MLB fastball in 2026 is north of 94 mph, with 18 qualified pitchers averaging at least 96. When Freeman debuted 17 years ago, the league-wide average was under 92 and no qualified pitchers averaged at least 96.

Arenado said that one of the first things that becomes tougher for MLB veterans is the ability to handle really good fastballs — particularly inside. It makes for tough matchups against pitchers like Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski, who routinely throws 100 mph.

"I feel like just the general age of the levels and the development is trending younger and younger," Walker said. "And there might be something to that — like your best bullets might be when you’re 27 years old."

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has Freeman and Muncy in his lineup on nearly a daily basis. He also played in the big leagues until he was 36 years old, retiring in 2008, giving him some personal experience on the aging process.

"The hardest part is to expect and want the same output you've always had, but not be willing to change the equation," Roberts said.

Roberts said the process is different for every player. Some need to work out more. Some less. Others need more sleep. Diet becomes more important. The tricky part is that the habits that brought you to the big leagues might not be the same ones that will keep you there in your mid-to-late 30s.

Walker, who didn't become a starter in the big leagues until he was 28, said he's embraced getting older and enjoys analyzing his blood tests that might signal what's causing vitamin deficiencies or inflammation. The tests also show how much alcohol might affect his body or the importance of a good night's sleep.

"For myself, no real magic recipe, just chalk it up to being a late bloomer," Walker said. "My age is older than most guys, but service time isn’t. I haven’t been in the big leagues for 20 years or anything like that. Just fortunate that I still can help the team."

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said he believed there were two main reasons Arenado was still having success in his 14th big league season. First, he gave credit to the D-backs' hitting coaches.

But maybe most importantly, Arenado has listened to those coaches, embraced change and found new ways to have success.

"There's an adjustment to work habits and mindset once you get to that level where things aren't as easy as they used to be," Lovullo said. "Some say ‘I’ve had my career, it's not as easy as it once was, and I want to shut it down.'"

Later he added: "It's fun to watch Nolan Arenado have all this success, but he's worked his butt off. He's working as hard as any 22 or 23 year old we have on this team."

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr slammed former "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Sunday after Pelley said he did not expect to be fired from CBS News following a heated clash with the program's new leadership.

Carr responded to Pelley's remarks in a post on X, where he argued the longtime CBS journalist's reaction reflected a broader problem inside legacy media.

"One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch," Carr said.

He also said Pelley’s conduct would not be tolerated in a typical workplace.

FCC SEEKS TO SHIFT POWER FROM NATIONAL PROGRAMMERS TO LOCAL BROADCASTERS IN PUBLIC INTEREST PUSH

"You could not get away with that behavior at any run of the mill job," Carr said. "It is revealing to see how blind some are to that."

Pelley was fired after 37 years at CBS News, where he served as a White House correspondent, anchor of the "CBS Evening News" and correspondent for "60 Minutes."

In an interview with The New York Times, Pelley said he did not believe he was walking into a termination meeting after his confrontation with new "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton.

"Oh gosh, furthest thing from my mind," Pelley said. "It hadn’t occurred to me."

CBS NEWS FIRES '60 MINUTES' CORRESPONDENTS, TOP PRODUCER IN SWEEPING SHAKEUP OF STORIED PROGRAM

Pelley acknowledged that the meeting with Bilton had been tense, but he defended the tone of his questioning by pointing to the program’s history.

"‘60 Minutes’ is known for two things: a ticking stopwatch and hard questions," he said.

Pelley said the confrontation came after senior staffers and several correspondents were dismissed, and after Bilton was introduced to the newsroom as the program's new executive producer.

"No one saw the Black Thursday massacre coming," Pelley said.

CBS, BARI WEISS FACING MOUNTING BACKLASH FROM LIBERAL CRITICS OVER YANKING '60 MINUTES' SEGMENT

Pelley said he was angered by Bilton’s introductory email to the staff and by the way Bilton addressed employees after the dismissals.

"It betrayed the fact that Nick Bilton didn’t know anything about us, didn’t know anything about our culture, and yet was being imposed on us as our new leader," Pelley said.

Pelley also criticized CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who was installed under new ownership after David Ellison's acquisition of Paramount.

"She’s a lovely person," Pelley said. "And her Free Press organization that she founded has been very successful. But television’s not her thing."

Pelley accused Weiss of pushing editorial changes on a politically sensitive "60 Minutes" story involving protests and an immigration enforcement shooting in Minneapolis.

He said he believed the requested changes would have favored President Donald Trump's view of the events.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I had never seen in 37 years at CBS News," Pelley said.

CBS News denied that Weiss acted with political motivation, saying her editorial notes were intended to make the piece "as strong, fair, and accurate as possible."

Alexander Zverev is no longer the best men's tennis player without a Grand Slam title.

After years of near-misses, collapses, injuries, brutal draws and uncomfortable questions about whether he had the nerve to finish the job on the sport's biggest stage, Zverev finally broke through Sunday at Roland Garros.

"You can strip the labels. Sascha Zverev is now, and forever, a Grand Slam champion," TNT play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson exclaimed as the German claimed the final point.

Zverev defeated Flavio Cobolli, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-1, to win the 2026 French Open and capture the first major championship of his career.

FRENCH OPEN WINNER MIRRA ANDREEVA QUICKLY CORRECTS TROPHY POSE AFTER HISTORIC VICTORY

It was a long time coming.

Zverev had already reached three Grand Slam finals before this tournament. He lost the 2020 U.S. Open final to Dominic Thiem after taking a two-set lead. He lost the 2024 French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz after holding a two-sets-to-one advantage. He lost the 2025 Australian Open final to Jannik Sinner in straight sets.

For most of his career, Zverev was defined by those losses. He was always a great player, even elite at times. He won an Olympic gold medal. He's been ranked as high as the No. 2 player in the world, and has been entrenched in the top five since April 2024.

But he had never won a major.

Now, finally, he has.

Zverev's off-the-court legacy is more complicated. He has faced domestic abuse allegations from two former partners, both of which he has denied. The ATP closed an investigation into one set of allegations in 2023 after finding insufficient evidence to substantiate the claims, and a German court closed a separate case in 2024 after a settlement with no finding or admission of guilt.

As a tennis achievement, though, this was the breakthrough he had spent years chasing.

He also became the first German man to win a Grand Slam singles title since Boris Becker won the 1996 Australian Open.

And he did it at the one tournament where history has been almost impossible to crack.

Roland Garros has mostly belonged to Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and, more recently, Alcaraz. Stan Wawrinka's 2015 title was the rare exception. Wawrinka was the only player other than those three to win the French Open since 2010. Now, Zverev has added his name to one of the most exclusive clubs in sports.

It also made Zverev the first men's Grand Slam champion outside the Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic and Nadal group in years. He's the first to win a major other than those four since Daniil Medvedev won the 2021 U.S. Open. The U.S. Open is typically the tournament that sees breakthrough winners, too. Zverev is the first player not named Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic, Nadal or Federer to win the Australian Open, Wimbledon or the French Open since Andy Murray won Wimbledon in 2016.

The 2026 French Open started on an inauspicious note with Alcaraz, the defending champion and reigning Australian Open winner, withdrawing prior to the tournament because of a right wrist injury.

Sinner, the world No. 1 and the player many expected to challenge Alcaraz for the title, was knocked out in a stunning second-round defeat. Djokovic, still fighting Father Time better than anyone should reasonably be allowed to, suffered a third-round upset.

MARTINA NAVRATILOVA SAYS WIDE-OPEN FRENCH OPEN IS GOOD FOR TENNIS: ‘YOU NEED SUSPENSE’

That confluence of events opened the door.

Zverev walked through it.

Now comes the bigger question.

Did Zverev just turn the Alcaraz-Sinner era into something closer to a new Big 3 conversation? Or did he take advantage of one wide-open major and finally cash in on a chance he might not have again?

The latter is more likely.

Zverev didn't beat Alcaraz to win this title. He didn't beat Sinner. He didn't beat Djokovic. That matters, because those are the measuring sticks in men's tennis right now.

Alcaraz already owns the career Grand Slam. Sinner has already proven he can dominate hard courts and beat the best players in the world, though he's still seeking the elusive French Open victory. Djokovic, even at 39, showed he can still compete at the highest level, reaching the final in the 2026 Australian Open.

Zverev still has work to do if he wants to be viewed as a true peer in that group.

But he also has something now that he never had before: proof.

Proof that he can survive a Grand Slam final. Proof that he can handle the last Sunday of a major. Proof that his best tennis is good enough to carry him through two weeks and end with him lifting one of the four biggest trophies in the sport.

That changes the conversation.

Before Sunday, Zverev's career was defined by the missing hardware. Now, it's defined by what comes next.

If this is indeed the start of a second act, men's tennis suddenly gets more interesting. Alcaraz and Sinner are still clearly the present and future of the sport. They are head and shoulders above everyone else on the planet right now. The results speak for themselves: those two combined to win nine straight Grand Slam titles prior to Zverev's breakthrough. And Zverev was arguably only in this position due to Alcaraz's injury and Sinner's early exit.

Still, the lanky German has plenty of game and finally added the experience and confidence that come with winning a major tournament.

He answered the biggest question of his career Sunday in Paris. He is capable of winning a Grand Slam.

Now he has to answer the next one.

Can he do it when Alcaraz or Sinner is standing across the net?

That’s what will decide whether Roland Garros was a career-changing breakthrough or the best two weeks of a very good career.

Either way, Zverev finally has the one thing he was missing.

As Brian Anderson put it, "Sascha Zverev is now, and forever, a Grand Slam champion."

Rupert Everett is looking back on his "slightly sociopathic" past.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, the 67-year-old actor discussed his rebellious past, calling himself "Brash. Pushy. Disingenuous. Lethal."

"Well, I was lethal. I was just interested in myself and my own pleasure. That’s always lethal. I think I was slightly sociopathic. I was a terrible gossip, and I repeated everything everyone told me. I’d borrow people’s clothes and never give them back," he said. "I don’t know how I justified it to myself. I was lethal."

The "Shrek 2" star explained he was very concerned about his "vanity," saying for him, vanity is "a feeling of deep insecurity rather than feeling how fabulous I am."

CHARLIE SHEEN ADMITS HE ‘LIT THE FUSE’ THAT BLEW HIS LIFE APART AS TURBULENT PAST RESURFACES

He has since left his partying ways behind him, saying that while he thought he would still be clubbing in his 70s, he is "not remotely interested" in any of that.

"I’m interested in dust particles and things like that," he said. "I could quite happily sit just watching spring...I love smaller things now, thank God."

Not only was he "lethal" to others in his life, he also admits to being careless with his body, telling the outlet "I ruined myself."

When looking back at his body when he was younger, noting, "I was wonderful-looking at one point" and had muscles, but admits to going to great lengths to get there.

"I ruined myself. Now I’m almost crippled as a result. I could never be bothered to do all those things, like stretching, which were necessary for lifting weights, because your tendons get tighter and tighter. So boring. I didn’t do any of that. So now my demise will be musculoskeletal, I think."

As he has gotten older, Everett admits that while he is "still quite selfish," but less so than when he was younger, adding he is "probably more thoughtful about other people’s spaces," adding, "You have to be when you live with someone."

The actor has been with his wife, Henrique, for 16 years, confirming in August 2024 that the two had officially tied the knot.

"As soon as you live with someone, that’s the end of that – otherwise you’d split up after five minutes," he said. "You have to make allowances, give territory."

Everett had his breakthrough in the entertainment industry in the 1981 play "Another Country," and later reprised his role in the 1984 film adaptation. 

He then gained international stardom in "My Best Friend's Wedding," which earned him a Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination.

He later earned another Golden Globe nomination for his role in the 1999 movie, "An Ideal Husband."

Tampa Bay Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy is so good these days that it seems like him being a Vezina Trophy finalist is kind of a shoo-in.

But one of the best back stoppers of the last decade is not immune from being the butt of a joke, and the Lightning decided to have some fun while giving Vasilevskiy his second career Vezina Trophy, awarded to the NHL's best goaltender.

And it was the kind of prank that would look right at home on an episode of "Punk'd."

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

...Remember "Punk'd"?!

The NHL has been doing this thing over the last couple of years where they announce all of the award winners early instead of doing it at the NHL Awards. I'm not big on this, and I think the idea is to come up with ways to surprise winners and cook up some sweet, sweet social media content to boot.

So, with Vasilevskiy winning the award over Boston's Jeremy Swayman and Islander Ilya Sorokin, the team got creative with how they'd give him the award.

HERE ARE THREE NHL GOALIES WHO WERE MASSIVE VEZINA TROPHY FINALIST SNUBS

And what better way to do that than by calling in some of Tampa's finest to make him think his car has a large suspicious object in it?

I mean, they could give him a Ruth's Chris gift card, but this works too!

Nothing like making your goalie break out in a sweat, thinking his car is about to explode before you go, "Nah, bro. Congrats!"

My favorite part is when Vasilevskiy said he was relieved that nothing went wrong and he wouldn't have to deal with his insurance company.

I felt that. I think we all felt that.

Well, congrats to Vasilevskiy. What a year he had. One that included a fight in an outdoor game against Vezina nominee Jeremy Swayman. No other Vezina winner can say that.

But where do you go from here? The only thing more extreme would be going for something like another hidden camera prank show, "Scare Tactics".

Maybe they make him think he's being abducted by aliens, or that Bigfoot is smashing his mailbox.

And what happens if an actual police incident occurs?

You don't want him seeing a secure perimeter and a bomb-disposal robot and saying, "Alright, guys — what did I win this time?!"

America turns 250 on the Fourth of July, and communities across the country are marking the milestone with a yearlong lineup of concerts, fireworks, festivals and historical events.

No destination is more closely tied to America's 250th anniversary than Philadelphia. The city is marking the milestone with the Wawa Welcome America Festival, a multi-day celebration running June 19 through July 4 that includes six days of fireworks and culminates in a free concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway featuring Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, The Roots and more. Visitors can also explore the First Bank of the United States, which reopens to the public July 1 for the first time in decades.

Penn's View Hotel is an Italian American family-owned boutique property housed in an 1828 brick building in Philadelphia’s Old City. Guest rooms blend historic character with modern comforts, and many feature fireplaces and views of the Delaware River. The hotel also sits within walking distance of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and other major historic sites.

For a quieter stay outside the city, consider the Hotel Warner in nearby West Chester. But in general, if you're planning a trip around the anniversary celebrations, book early, as Philadelphia hotels are expected to fill quickly.

Boston is celebrating America's 250th anniversary with a yearlong lineup of events under its Boston 250 initiative, including reenactments, museum exhibits and waterfront programming throughout the summer. The centerpiece is the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Fourth of July along the Charles River Explanade, including expanded viewing areas and performances by Lainey Wilson and Chance The Rapper, among others. Visitors can also catch the return of Sail Boston, which brings tall ships and military vessels back to Boston Harbor for the first time since 2017.

Stay at the Revere Hotel Boston Common, which has created a Revolution 250 package featuring complimentary tickets to the Paul Revere House, a Freedom Trail map and welcome cocktails. It's right at the foot of plenty of historical sites in the area. A more premium option if you want an elevated stay is the Liberty Hotel, housed in the former Charles Street Jail, offering a Fourth of July package that includes prime views of the Charles River fireworks. 

One of the most unique events on the summer 2026 calendar is the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. On Aug. 22 and 23, the NTT INDYCAR Series will race on the National Mall for the first time, using a 1.7-mile, seven-turn street circuit that passes landmarks including the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. General admission is free, and the Sunday race will air live on FOX. While you're in the capital, consider adding a visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, which is planning special programming tied to America's 250th anniversary.

The Viceroy Washington DC blends modern amenities with locally inspired design in the heart of the 14th street corridor. Its location offers easy access to the National Mall during race weekend, while also placing guests near Logan Circle's popular restaurants and nightlife. For a stay even closer to the action, Hotel Washington puts visitors within walking distance of the race and many of the city's most recognizable landmarks.

If your ideal America 250 celebration centers more on music than fireworks, consider a trip to New York's Hudson Valley. The Hudson River Music Festival returns to Croton Point Park on June 21, continuing a tradition rooted in the folk music championed by Pete and Toshi Seeger in the 1960s. The all-ages event features performances across three stages set along the Hudson River, bringing together a diverse lineup of artists in one of the country's most historic landscapes.

For a casual stay, consider The Roundhouse in nearby Beacon, which pairs a boutique hotel experience with scenic waterfall views. For a more elevated stay, check out the Tarrytown House Estate, a historic property with Gilded Age architecture. It offers access to walking trails overlooking the Hudson River.

Families can also add a stop at nearby Legoland California to round out the trip.

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa, offers one of the more accessible beachfront stays in the area, perched above the shoreline just south of Carlsbad Village. The property features ocean-view dining and easy beach access, while its location places guests about a 15-minute drive from Omni La Costa Resort & Spa for festival events.

Few destinations capture the spirit of the American road trip quite like South Dakota’s Black Hills. During the summer, Mount Rushmore National Memorial hosts nightly lighting ceremonies that include ranger-led programs, recognition of veterans and the illumination of the monument after sunset. Visitors traveling over the Fourth of July can also enjoy a full day of special programming, including presidential re-enactors, Indigenous cultural demonstrations and a performance by the U.S. Air Force Academy Band.

Round out the trip with a visit to the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial and a drive through Custer State Park, where scenic roads offer opportunities to spot bison, wildlife and some of the region’s most dramatic landscapes.

For a glamping experience near Mount Rushmore, Under Canvas Mount Rushmore offers safari-style tents on the site of a former gold-mining settlement. Guests get amenities like king-size beds and private bathrooms, making it a comfortable alternative to traditional camping.

Yellowstone National Park became the nation's first national park in 1872, making it a fitting destination during America's 250th anniversary year. Visitors can watch Old Faithful erupt at regular intervals, see the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring — the largest hot spring in the United States — and explore one of the country's most iconic landscapes. Wildlife viewing is another major draw, with bison roaming Hayden Valley and elk frequently spotted near park lodges and roadways.

Located about 20 minutes from Yellowstone's West Entrance, Island Park Lodge offers a quieter and often more affordable base for exploring the park. Guests can choose between traditional hotel rooms and modern rustic cabins, both designed with easy access to Yellowstone in mind. For a more immersive stay inside the park, consider the historic Old Faithful Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its soaring timber architecture, massive stone fireplace and views of the famous geyser from select rooms.

Located just south of Astoria, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park preserves Fort Clatsop, the reconstructed winter camp where the Corps of Discovery spent the winter of 1805-06 after reaching the Pacific Ocean. During the summer, visitors can explore living history programs, paddle portions of the Lewis and Clark River or join ranger-led hikes through the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the Astoria Column rewards those willing to climb its 164 steps with sweeping views of the Columbia River and Pacific Coast. For even more coastal scenery, Cannon Beach and its iconic Haystack Rock sit about 25 minutes away.

Painstakingly restored in the early 2000s, Hotel Elliott offers a boutique stay in downtown Astoria within easy reach of the waterfront. Guests can take in views from the rooftop terrace while staying close to attractions.

A man found with zip ties and duct tape has been charged with assaulting five women in less than an hour on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus last week.

Olumuyiwa Akindahunsi, 29, allegedly sexually assaulted two women and tried to sexually assault a third at UCLA, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. He allegedly physically assaulted two other women. Four of the women are students.

Akindahunsi, who is not a student at the university, is charged with one felony count of attempted kidnapping to commit a forcible rape, three felony counts of assault with the intent to commit a forcible rape during the commission of a first-degree burglary, and two felony counts of assault likely to produce great bodily injury.

"These disturbing attacks strike at the core of campus safety, traumatizing five victims and unsettling campus life," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. "We are working closely with the UCLA Police Department to bring the attacker to justice and ensure that he will be held fully accountable for his actions."

FORMER UCLA GYNECOLOGIST SENTENCED AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ASSAULTING PATIENTS AT SCHOOL

"Our swift actions should send a powerful deterrent message to anyone thinking of coming onto a college campus to harm anyone: they will be arrested, prosecuted, and punished," he added. "Our university campuses need to be safe and protected spaces for our students, faculty, staff, and community, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that this happens."

Akindahunsi's alleged spree began at 11:30 p.m. on May 28 when he attacked a woman on Bruin Walk, a main campus walkway, and fled with her phone, authorities said.

Minutes later, he slipped behind two women into their dorm building and followed them to their room, prosecutors said. He allegedly sexually assaulted one of the women and assaulted the other. Both women managed to escape.

STUDENTS AT TOP PARTY COLLEGE ON EDGE AFTER RAPE, STRANGULATION REPORTED IN CAMPUS HOUSING

Afterward, Akindahunsi entered a different dorm building and attempted to kidnap a woman walking down a hallway, authorities said. She broke free and fled.

Authorities said that shortly after, Akindahunsi sexually assaulted a woman in the hallway of her dorm, when a resident intervened and Akindahunsi fled the scene.

He was arrested by campus police minutes later near a parking structure after officers were flagged down by witnesses, the UCLA Police Department said.

Multiple witnesses identified Akindahunsi as the attacker, police said. He was found with zip ties, duct tape, and paracord, authorities said.

Akindahunsi is being held in the Los Angeles County Jail with no bail, according to jail records. His citizenship status was not immediately clear.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the university, as well as the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
