A UW-Madison student suffered several facial fractures after being robbed and attacked early Sunday morning.
According to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain, the victim was returning to his place after walking his girlfriend home when he was blindsided with a blow to the head on Broom Street.
The victim was punched, knocked down and held on the ground by one suspect while the other suspect stole money from his pocket, according to police.
According to DeSpain, the victim saw the men run north on Broom Street after the attack.
Although the victim was attacked Sunday, he did not report the crime because of medical cost concerns; however, he received medical attention Tuesday.
DeSpain said it is difficult to obtain forensic evidence and video surveillance if crimes are not reported as soon as they occur.
"If someone is victimized, they need to contact us immediately," DeSpain said.
