One of the two subjects displayed an inability to walk without excessive, and possibly dangerous, swaying.

SUTTON HALL, 305 West 22nd Street Public Intoxication: Three UT students, all of whom were under the age of 21, had been at an off-campus social gathering where one of the students had consumed “too much” alcohol and began to exhibit an involuntary physical reaction to the over-consumption of said alcoholic beverages. The other two students realized such outpouring meant it was time for them to leave. While walking back to their dormitory room, the same involuntary reaction began to happen to the same student. This time, the forward momentum of such a forceful act coupled with the student’s lack of balance caused the student to fall face down. The other two students then summoned medical attention. The medical attention was needed as EMS transported the student to a local hospital for the treatment of alcohol poisoning. Occurred on 10/12/14 at 3:08 AM. 400 West 24th Street Disorderly Conduct – Threatens Another: A UT student reported a non-UT subject who had made small talk with him before threatening to cause bodily harm to the student.
