At about 9:50 p.m. on Monday, a student reported an attempted robbery in the visitors section on the first floor of the Cullen Oaks Apartments parking garage. There was no weapon involved and the student was not injured.

The suspect, who is described as a black male wearing a dark blue, short sleeve shirt and is between 25 and 35 years old, approached the student from behind, grabbed the student’s backpack and demanded his wallet.

The student turned around and struck the suspect in the face. The man fled the scene on foot, leaving the student with his belongings.

A similar incident occurred in the same parking garage in early May. For more information, contact the UH Police Department at police@uh.edu.
