Stony Brook Police Investigating Report of Robbery on Campus

A Stony Brook student reported being robbed at knifepoint on Sunday night at approximately 10:20 p.m. while walking along a bicycle path near the athletic fields and Circle Road, according to an SBU Emergency Management notification.

The victim said he was approached by a group of two or three students, and described one of the subject as a Caucasian male approximately 20 years old wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
