A woman was robbed at knife-point Monday near the 7-Eleven on Ivy Road, Charlottesville Police Sgt. Steve Upman said.
The victim allegedly exited a bus near the convenience store and then was approached by two black males between 30 and 35 years old, he said.
The victim told police the men came "out of the shadows," Upman said, before demanding her purse. When she refused to give it to them, one of the men attempted to take it from her forcefully, he said.
"She resisted, and at that point, one of them pulled out a knife. She gave up the purse and they took off running towards the railroad tracks," Upman said.
Before the men fled, they pushed the victim to the ground, causing minor injuries, Upman said. They removed the cash from her purse and left it near the scene.
The police so far have no leads or suspects in the case, Upman said.
