Student struck in head, robbed on Euclid Avenue
An off-campus robbery occurred early Saturday morning at 1 a.m. on the 700 block of Euclid Avenue.
A male student said he was approached and robbed by two suspects while stepping outside his private Euclid Avenue residence. The suspects first struck him in the head and then demanded his belongings. About $5 in cash and a cellphone may have been taken, the student said, according to an email sent to Syracuse University students by the Department of Public Safety.
The student has minor bruising to the head, but there were no reports of weapons used. The direction the suspects were last seen headed is unknown. DPS is asking students who live in the area and who may have seen the incident to help identify the suspects.
As of press time, DPS Chief Tony Callisto said there were no further developments on the case and all information available was included in the alert. He said the Syracuse Police Department is still looking for the suspects.
