At approximately 2:35 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, a student was robbed between 33rd and Prospect Street. The culprit approached the student from behind, assaulted her, and stole her purse before fleeing the scene.

Though the student only reported the incident to the Department of Safety on Wednesday evening, she immediately reported it to the Metropolican Police Department, who responded to the scene of the crime. MPD is responsible for the investigation and is looking into the incident. The theft comes about one month after a similar assault in the area on May 15.

According to Metropolitan Police Department Officer Abigail Hughes, “an unknown tool” was used to force open the office’s front door between 11:10 a.m. and 9:20 a.m. Once inside, the unknown burglar (or burglars) forced open additional doors and stole the electronic equipment.

At approximately 4 p.m. this afternoon, a female cyclist was struck by a Super Shuttle van while riding eastbound on Prospect Street.

According to witnesses at the scene, the cyclist rode through a stop sign and the van, which was traveling northbound on 33rd Street, was unable to stop before colliding with her.

“People riding bicycles in the city need to respect traffic signs,” MPD Officer N.A. Cook, who took witnesses’ statements at the scene, said. “The same accident at the same intersection happened about a week ago.”

Cook later identified the cyclist as a college student.

The woman, who was wearing a helmet, told EMS responders that she did not remember the accident. Although one responder told Vox that she “should be okay,” the woman was nonetheless transported to a nearby hospital.
