A Princeton University student was robbed of her wallet on Alexander Street at the traffic light in front of Forbes Annex shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday morning, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.
The 19-year-old female undergraduate student was approached from behind by a man, who punched her twice in the face. He took her wallet and fled toward the Springdale Golf Course, following the 1:41 a.m. incident.
The student was offered medical attention, but declined.
The man was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with a white drawstring.
The Princeton Police Department and the Princeton University Department of Public Safety responded to the area immediately, but could not find the man.
