NEW BRUNSWICK — The Rutgers University Police Department is reminding students and other residents of this college town to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity after a victim was robbed on the street Sunday night.
RUPD said on Facebook that the victim, whom they said was affiliated with the university, was approached by "multiple male perpetrators" around 8:45 p.m. at Bishop Place and College Avenue.
According to the police report, the suspects demanded items of value, the victim was struck twice with a closed fist, and both sides of the confrontation fled the scene. The victim reported he witnessed the perpetrators heading down College Avenue in the direction of Mine Street.
