Northwestern University police issued a crime alert Sunday night warning students of an attempted robbery near the school's downtown campus.
About 8:40 p.m. Sunday, a female student was walking on the 300 block of East Chicago Avenue when a teenage boy approached her while she was waiting to cross the street near the fieldhouse of Lake Shore Park.
He pushed her backward and demanded money and her cell phone. A second teen, who had been walking ahead of her, stopped, turned around and stood in front of her, police said. Soon after, two joggers approached and both of the suspects fled.
One of the suspects was described as a white male, about 16 to 17 years old with a thin build and a buzz-cut hair style. Police said he was about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark sweatshirt.
The second suspect was described as a black male, between 16 to 17, with a buzz-cut hairstyle. Police said he had a husky build and was about 190 to 200 pounds. He also was wearing blue jeans and a dark sweatshirt.
