A trend in iPhone robberies continued early Sunday morning when a UW-Madison student had an iPhone stolen from him while he was texting.
In the latest report, a 6-foot-tall African American man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans approached a UW-Madison student sitting on the steps of an apartment on the 400 block of West Gorham Street, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
Police say the student was texting when the man approached him, pushed him and stole his iPhone.
This is the third iPhone robbery in the past month and the fifth since March, according to the MPD crime database.
