CRIME ALERT
Armed Robberies
Cambridge Street, Cambridge

On Friday, September 2, 2005, at approximately 2:15 AM a male graduate student
reported to the Harvard University Police Department that he was robbed twice
while walking down Cambridge Street from Inman Square towards campus. As he
walked near Cambridge Hospital, he was struck in the head from behind and
knocked to the ground. When he looked up he was surrounded by four males who
demanded his cell phone, I-POD, and wallet. The victim complied and the
suspects walked away. As the victim continued walking on Cambridge Street
toward campus he was approached by a male who asked for a cigarette. The
victim gave the male a cigarette and continued on. The male then approached
the victim from behind and placed a knife to the victim’s throat and demanded
his money. The victim informed the suspect that he did not have any money as
he was just robbed. The suspect searched the victim and, finding no valuables,
let him go. The victim then proceeded to the Science Center where he reported
the robberies to both the Harvard University Police Department and the
Cambridge Police Department.

Jesus. I walked down to Inman square for dinner yesterday.
