Police were unable to locate two suspects who fled after robbing a UC Berkeley student at knifepoint on campus early Friday morning, according to a UCPD crime alert.

Around 12:30 a.m. Friday, the two suspects, described as black males in their late twenties, approached the victim, a 25-year-old male, as he was walking through the north end of Spieker Plaza. The victim, who was not injured during the robbery, gave up his property after one suspect demanded it and produced a knife.

After the robbery, the two suspects fled on foot. Though UCPD and BPD searched the area, they were not able to locate the suspects.
