BRIEF DETAILS:

On September 7, 2019, at approximately 3:17 a.m., the University of Maryland Police Department was notified of a robbery (no weapons) that occurred at approximately 2:27 a.m., on September 7, 2019. A male student reported to police that he was walking past a group of males and words were exchanged. As the student continued to walk inside Annapolis Hall, he made a hand gesture to the group. One of the males followed the student inside and a physical altercation occurred. The male then took the student’s hat off of his head and left.

The student then opened the door, yelled out and the suspect and another male entered when a second physical altercation occurred. The student was able to get away and the suspect and the male left the area.

A preliminary review of the cameras in the area yielded images of the suspect and the male/person of interest. They can be viewed here.

A video review of the cameras in the area is underway. Individuals with any information regarding this incident and/or the identity of the suspect and/or the person of interest are encouraged to contact police at 301-405-3555.
