Police are searching for four men who attacked a 21-year-old Temple student Friday night on Norris Street near 15th Street.

Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said the victim was struck in the head by one of the suspects while walking east on Norris St around 10:00 p.m.

After surrendering $40, the suspects demanded the victim give them his phone, Leone said. The student offered some resistance before one of the suspects pulled out a knife, causing the victim to hand over the phone, Leone added.

The victim was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital following the attack, Leone said.

Leone described the suspects as four men between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10 and between 16 and 19 years old. They were last seen wearing white and gray shirts with one of the suspects sporting a blue bandana over his face.

Police are hoping to find evidence leading to the suspects from security cameras in the area or by tracking the stolen phone, Leone said.
