Student’s wallet stolen at knifepoint near Crouse College

By Steven Kovach

A Syracuse University student was robbed at knifepoint Monday at about 6:30 p.m. outside of Crouse College, according to a Campus Safety Alert.

The student was approached by an unidentified man who asked for the student’s wallet and the student complied, the report stated.

The suspect then ran away toward the Veterans Administration Medical Center, according to the report.

The student was reportedly not injured.

The suspect was described as a white male in his 20s wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with a white cap under the hood, the report stated.



Capt. Drew Buske of Public Safety said neither Syracuse Police nor the Department of Public Safety have any leads so far, however they did receive a call from a student living off campus who said he was approached by a man who met the suspect’s description asking for money on Euclid Avenue about two months ago.
