At approximately 8:40 pm Friday evening, November 6, 2009, a male undergraduate reports he was the victim of a strong-arm robbery while in the men's restroom located on the lower level of Hoyt Hall. The student reports that a lone individual was already in the restroom when he entered. Moments later the individual come up behind the student, held an unidentified object at the student's upper back/shoulder area and demanded that the student turnover his cash. The student considered very briefly whether the suspect actually had a weapon, but decided not to take a chance, so he surrendered his cash. The lone suspect then fled the bathroom area in an unknown direction.
The student returned to his campus residence and called Security right away. The Rochester Police were contacted via 9-1-1 and requested to respond. Security officers checked campus areas near Hoyt with negative results. The victim provided a partial description of the suspect as follows:
