Police are still searching for two alleged robbers in separate, unrelated incidents from Friday and Saturday after two TU Alerts were sent out.
At 5:32 p.m. Friday, a 59-year-old man was walking west on the 1200 block of Hilton St. near Germantown Avenue by the Health Sciences Campus when a man hit him on the left side of the head and stole $595 cash, an iPhone 5 and a wallet, said Charlie Leone, Executive Director of Campus Safety Services.
Leone said the victim was cut as a result of the hit, and that the man believed he was hit with a gun. He was treated at Einstein Hospital and later released.
The victim described the suspect to police as 20-30 years old, 6 feet tall and between 190-200 pounds. He wore a black hoodie, blue jeans and white and red shoes.
On Saturday at about 4 a.m., a 23-year-old man was walking through a playground at 1100 Susquehanna Ave. near the Edberg-Olson Football Complex when another man displayed a silver handgun and stole more than $300 of property, Leone said.
Taken was a wallet with various IDs, a G-shock watch valued at $100, a Samsung cellphone valued at $200 and $25 cash. The man then fled west on Susquehanna Avenue and the victim told police he wore a grey hoodie and camouflage pants.
