Boulder Police are investigating a reported robbery. An unidentified 20-year-old male CU student reported that near 1:30 a.m. on Saturday he was held at knifepoint and robbed of his cell phone in the 1600 block of 17th Street, said Sarah Huntley, Boulder Police�s spokesperson.
Two roughly 21-year-old males wearing black hooded sweatshirts approached the victim and demanded money, Huntley said.
�One of the suspects pulled a knife on his stomach and demanded money,� Huntley said. �When the victim told them he only had a cell phone and a lighter, one of the suspects punched him in the face and when he fell to the ground and then they kicked him and they robbed him of his cell phone.�
After being robbed the victim then tried to go to a friend�s house to borrow the phone to report the robbery, Huntley said.
However, when he arrived his friend wasn�t there, so the victim went home to use his roommate�s phone instead, Huntley said.� The victim then reported the call after his roommate arrived near 9 a.m. on Saturday.
The victim sustained some facial injuries, but was not hospitalized, Huntley said.
�The case is still under investigation,� Huntley said.
