A female Syracuse University student was punched and kicked in the head during a robbery early Sunday morning across the street from campus, according to a Syracuse Police Department news release.

A male robber approached two female students at about 2:20 a.m. on the 300 block of Ostrom Avenue and threatened them with a gun, though it was never shown, according to the release. He eventually made off with one of the victims’ purses and fled through Thornden Park. The one victim’s lip was hurt during the robbery, according to the release.

The robber was described as black, 5 feet 10 inches tall and was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a black ski mask, according to the release.

Anyone with information is asked to call SPD.
