The man, who appeared to be in his late 20's or 30's, identified himself as a Harvard student, but does not appear to be affiliated with the school in any way, WFXT-TV reported Friday.

Officials at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government reportedly notified students of the man's actions on Thursday, sending out an email reassuring the community that the man did not seem to be a threat.

"At this time there does not appear to be a threat to the community, but we felt that it was important to notify members of our community," the email stated. "We have also notified the Harvard University Police Department."

The man has not been seen on campus since he was first spotted, according to the email.
