STUDENT ASSAULTED, ROBBED

On Oct. 20, a female York University community member was robbed after 7 p.m., on the east side of the Harry W. Arthurs Common.

     The victim reported that the suspect was a black male with brown eyes, between six feet and six-footfour with a medium build and weighing between 180 and 240 lbs.
     He removed her glasses and broke them in front of her before stealing her iPod, said Toronto police.

 

    Cellphone stolen

 

The following day, two suspects approached a male victim, took his cell phone out of his hand, hit him over the head and fled the scene.

    Police said the altercation took place at the intersection of Assiniboine Rd. and Sentinel Rd. at around 9:30 p.m.
    The identities of the suspects are unknown at this time. Some York University students have suggested that security improvements should be made on campus.
    “This should not be happening. I heard that last year it happened too [ . . . ] Maybe some security improvements should be taken on the campus by the university and maybe by
    Toronto police,” said Imam Uddin, a biochemistry student.
    Physics student Anthony Hugh suggested security cameras should be part of the solution.
   “York University should put cameras in less-travelled places, like the fifth floor of the library.”
