The female student told officers she was on a swing set between Irving Hill Road and Stouffer Place Apartments around 8 p.m. Monday (10/15) when a man approached her. She says the man had a silver gun and demanded she give him her things. The woman told officers she gave the man a cell phone and iPod and he left.

She described the suspect as a black male, 6'2", 170 lbs. She said he was wearing a black ski mask and gray hoodie at the time.

In light of this crime, KU's Public Safety Office wants to remind the community to report report any unusual people or activities to their office or local police; if you are the victim of a robbery, surrender your property to try to keep yourself safe from harm; walk in well-traveled and well-lit areas; and walk in groups or with a friend.
