Dear Extension School Student:

COMMUNITY ADVISORY
Attempted Armed Robbery
Memorial Drive/JFK Street, Cambridge

On Sunday, March 18, 2007, a male undergraduate student reported to the Harvard
University Police Department that he was the victim of an attempted armed robbery
while walking on JFK Street. At approximately 1:15 AM as the victim approached the
intersection of JFK Street and Memorial Drive, he observed an unidentified male
smoking a cigarette and gesturing with his hands. As he got close the unidentified
male, who was holding a knife, demanded the student's wallet. The victim indicated
to the suspect that he was going to comply with his demand for his wallet. The
victim then resisted and threw his backpack at the suspect. As the suspect fell to
the ground the victim disarmed him. The suspect then fled over the Larz Anderson
Bridge into Allston. A search by the Harvard University Police Department and the
Massachusetts State Police failed to locate the offender. The victim was not injured
and did not require medical attention.
