A robber stole a Syracuse University student’s cash early Sunday morning on Ostrom Avenue, the Department of Public Safety said.

The student was walking alone headed south in the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue when the robber approached him from behind, DPS said. The robber pulled the student into the Ostrom lot where he displayed what appeared to be a handgun, and demanded the student’s property, which consisted of cash. The student did not sustain any injuries, DPS said.

DPS described the robber as a young male approximately 6 feet 3 inches tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a white rosary around his neck.

After the incident, the robber fled in an unknown direction of travel.
