Police investigate attempted robbery 10:50 a.m., Oct. 21, 2005--University Police are investigating the attempted robbery of an 18-year-old female student that occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m., Friday, Oct. 21. The student was walking to her residence hall on the Rodney/Dickinson walkway when she saw two men walking toward her. One suspect said, "What's up?" as she walked by them. He then said, "Come here. We need to ask you something." The student victim thought that the suspects were going to ask her for directions, but, as she got closer, the suspect told her to give him her purse and grabbed for it. She refused and pulled the purse away. She was forced to the ground, and, when she attempted to get up, the second suspect struck her across the face with an unknown object, which she described as something that protruded from between his fingers. The suspects then fled in an unknown direction, and the victim ran to her residence hall. The suspects are described as 18 to 23 years old. One is 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches tall, with blond hair worn in a short, military style, wearing a white hoodie sweatshirt with no zipper and black sweatpants. The other suspect is 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall, with short brown hair and having acne, wearing a plain blue polo shirt with a collar and long sleeves and blue jeans. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cpl. John Haug of the University Police at (302) 831-2222. Members of the University community are reminded to take safety precautions, walk in groups and always be aware of their surroundings.
