Men attack student

A male student reported being assaulted early Wednesday morning while walking in the 200 block of 15th Street. Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts said the individual claimed four males approached him at approximately 1:55 a.m.

The victim described being pushed down by the group of men. One of the attackers then searched his wallet and cell phone before finally throwing the two items on the ground before leaving, he reported.

The four suspects were described as white males, dressed alike in dark clothing. The victim indicated in his report to the police that he suspected the men were involved in the Inter-Fraternity Council rush process.

The victim was able to recover his wallet but reported his phone to be missing.

"The best advice I can ever give any individuals going out late at night is to travel in groups," Roberts said.

Anyone with information relating to the crime is urged to contact the Charlottesville Police Department.
