University of Minnesota: Crime Alert: April 15, 2010 | Facebook

On Wednesday, April 14 at approximately 11:00 p.m. a University of Minnesota student was the victim of an assault and robbery in the Dinkytown business district (see map below).

The victim stepped outside of the Library Bar at the corner of 4th St. SE and 13th Ave. to get some air and was approached by two male suspects. One of the suspects engaged the victim in conversation and asked for money to buy cigarettes while the second suspect stood nearby. When the victim took out his wallet, the first suspect punched the victim in the face and grabbed the wallet. The victim pursued the suspects as they fled westbound on 4th Street. The two suspects separated and the victim eventually saw the suspect who punched him get into a two-door silver Ford pickup truck. The victim was not injured and declined medical attention.
