Three students robbed, one assaulted on Ray Street Bridge

Three university students were robbed early Friday morning on the Ray Street Bridge, according to University Police. One was hit in the head before the suspect fled.

The three women were walking at the south end of the bridge at 1:44 a.m. when they were approached by a man who demanded their purses.

The victims struggled with the suspect and threatened to call police, said Maj. Joel Ivory. The man ran away without taking any property, but not before one of the women was struck on the side of her head.

The man fled in a white, four-door sedan that was waiting on Ray Street. At least two other men were in the car, police said.

Ivory said officers already patrol the area on foot and on bicycle, but University Police will step up their efforts there in response to this incident.

The suspect is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 160 pounds, with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a white, hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans and covering his face with a blue, black and white striped sweater.

University Police are asking anyone with information about the robbery to call (302) 831-2222.

Why would anyone resist? Just hand over the bags, nothing in there is worth your life.
