Police reported a man being robbed at gunpoint by two men Friday night in a heavily populated student neighborhood on North Brooks Street.
The victim was walking on North Brooks Street near Spring Street at approximately 9:10 p.m. when two men approached him, according to Madison Police Department Sgt. Paul Jacobsen.
Jacobsen said in a statement one of the men pulled out a handgun and demanded the suspect empty his pockets.
The victim was not injured in the incident, according to police.
Police describe both suspects as black males in their early twenties. One of the suspects was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a gold design on the front.
Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, said he will follow up with police about the robbery because it does not fit the usual downtown crime pattern.
“Out of all the pieces of [the incident] that is most disturbing to myself it that [the robbery] happened earlier in the night,” Resnick said.
