Was walking up Spruce St and saw a mess of TV cars and vans, along with police cars, a crime unit van and alot of men in suits being interviewed outside the apartment building at 4311 Spruce Street. Apparently, a male student was leaving the building and there were people (don't know how many, 3?) outside waiting. Whether for him in particular or for whoever was unlucky enough to step outside. They forced him back into the building and his apt, tied him up and the poor person stayed that way for about 11 hours. A newscrew person gave me this sketchy info, along with the fact that he'd heard 3 people were seen running from the building with stolen items. AFAIK, the student is "ok" ... whatever "ok" is after being assaulted/tied up/robbed means. This I'm sure will be on the news tonight, but I wanted to give you all a heads up. Be careful! If you think you saw anything please call the police. Yikes. Scary. The miscreants are moving off-campus. What time of day (night) did the initial assault take place? If you walked by at 10:00 am, the 11-hour gap would put it at about 11:00 on Sunday night. And, not to sound sarcastic, the corner of 43rd & Spruce is a gathering point for both Penn Security and the UCD Safety Ambassadors. I usually walk by there between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm Sunday through Friday (with Pluto) and have ever seen anything suspicious (except the Penn Security and UCD Safety Ambassador gatherings).
