A 21-year-old Temple student and his friend were robbed around 3:10 a.m. Wednesday on the 1600 block of N. 18th Street.

Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said the victims were walking on N. 18th Street when a suspect approached them, flashed a handgun and demanded their money. The Temple student surrendered his wallet, while the other victim – also a 21-year-old male – gave the suspect his debit card, Leone said.

Leone said the suspect fled east toward Broad Street, and then north on N. 16th Street before jumping into a car on Cecil B. Moore Avenue. The two victims sustained no injuries, he added.

A TU Alert was sent out about the incident at around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Leone said that Campus Safety Services are checking cameras to try to identify the suspect. Leone said the suspect is a male who is estimated be about 5-foot-11, and was last seen wearing a light blue hooded sweatshirt.
