Temple Police is investigating an armed robbery of a student that occurred at 15th Street and Susquehanna Avenue last night.

Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said in an email that the student was walking west on Susquehanna Avenue, when the suspect approached him from behind at 9:45 p.m.

Leone said the offender pulled a small silver handgun on the student, and told him to empty his pockets. He then took the student’s iPhone and fled west on Susquehanna Avenue and then turned north onto 16th Street.

A TU Alert was sent out at around 10:30 p.m. No injures were reported.

The suspect was described as a 15- to 18-year-old male, about 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a light blue and white flannel shirt and white T-shirt.

Temple Police is patrolling the area and checking nearby cameras, Leone said. Anybody with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Campus Safety Services at 215-204-1234.
