Police have clarified an incident involving a University of Louisville student who was robbed near campus.
Investigators now say the student was not stabbed during the incident, as they reported Tuesday night; instead, they say the student noticed a cut on his leg about an hour after the robbery took place.
The student was walking a dog in the 2400 block of Brook Street, near the Brook Street Extension, when he was approached by a male suspect around 8 p.m. Tuesday, UofL spokesman John Drees said.
The suspect demanded the student’s wallet. Drees said a fight then broke out, and the suspect took off.
After the suspect ran, the victim went to UofL Hospital for treatment. Drees said the student’s injuries were non-life threatening.
A description of the suspect has not been released.
UofL sent an alert to students at 9:46 p.m. after officials were notified of the incident.
The UofL Police Department is investigating the case.
