A Syracuse University student was robbed Wednesday around 2:30 a.m. on the 800 block of Ackerman Avenue, said Chief Tony Callisto of the Department of Public Safety.
Two men in dark, hooded sweatshirts approached the student from behind and pushed him to the ground, and one of the men took his wallet, Callisto said.
It was a strong-arm robbery — no weapons involved — and the victim was not hurt, Callisto said.
Both DPS and the Syracuse Police Department are investigating the incident. Currently, the police have little information from which to investigate, Callisto said.
The student was unable to provide a description of the men because he was approached from behind. He was only able to get a look at them when they were running away, Callisto said.
“We’re hoping that anyone that was in the area and saw people running would be able to contact us,” Callisto said.
