Rutgers Student Robbed, Assaulted In Campus Housing

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — A Rutgers student said he was robbed at a house party late Saturday night at the Livingston apartments on the Piscataway campus.

The student said he was approached by two men who were unknown to him at a social gathering inside an apartment in Livingston A at 1:40 a.m. Sunday. During a conversation with the men, they both grabbed a personal item from the student and physically assaulted him, said police.

No weapons were used and the suspects fled in an unknown direction.

However, the Rutgers student was injured seriously enough that he had to be taken to a hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and released.

The descriptions of the perpetrators are males between the ages of 19-21. One was wearing a white hoodie, an orange and black "Nike" backpack, and had a mustache and goatee. The second male was wearing an "American Eagle" hoodie, possible black in color.
