- The encounter occurred near Hubbard Road and Beale Avenue when
the student was approached by two suspects at about 1 a.m.
yesterday. Suspects were reported as two black men, about 18 to 20
years old, both wearing short-sleeved shirts and gray ski
masks.
- One suspect brandished a knife about 7 inches long and demanded
the victim’s wallet. The suspects threw down the wallet and
did not take any money because it contained no U.S. currency, Brown
said.
- After throwing the wallet, the suspects reportedly ran away and
got into a medium-sized yellow car and headed north on Beale
Avenue.
