A male student was robbed at the intersection of Hope and Waterman Streets early Saturday morning, according to a campus-wide e-mail sent by the Department of Public Safety later that morning.
At about 1:51 a.m. Saturday, two men - one of whom possessed a handgun - left a small, dark-colored vehicle and approached the victim, demanding his property and cash before fleeing the area in their vehicle, according to the e-mail.
The first suspect, who carried the gun, was described by the victim as a six-foot, 25-year-old black male with a skinny build, an afro and no facial hair. The second was described as a black male with a medium build and a short afro. Both suspects were wearing hooded sweatshirts, according to the e-mail.
The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by both DPS and the Providence Police Department. Representatives of both departments declined to provide any additional information.
