(FRANKLIN) - A 19-year-old Franklin College student was robbed at knifepoint Monday night on campus.
Franklin Police Department officials said it happened around 9:42 p.m. outside Dietz Center.
The woman reported that she stepped outside the southeast door of the residence hall to make a phone call when the suspect punched her in the face, shoved her against a wall and put a knife to her throat. He took her wallet but said nothing.
A moment after the robbery, a car pulled into a nearby parking lot. The suspect dropped the wallet and ran east.
