A male suspect threatened a 20-year-old university student on South College Avenue on Saturday evening, said Newark police spokesman MCpl. Gerald Bryda.
He said the victim was walking north on South College Avenue with friends at approximately 11:30 p.m. when he was accosted in the 300 block.
The suspect is described as a black male, 5 feet 6 inches tall with short dreadlocks and wearing a white T-shirt, baggy blue jeans and a backwards dark hat.
The suspect stopped the student and his friends, pulled out a dark-colored handgun from his waistband and held it pointed toward the ground, Bryda said.
The suspect then allegedly said, "Tell your friends not to touch me. This is our block."
Bryda said the suspect is still at large, but the potential charge against him would be aggravated menacing.
