A Syracuse University student reported an attempted robbery on Tuesday in the 100 block of Remington Ave, according to an email sent out by the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services.

The student reported that while she was walking alone, she was approached by an unknown male who displayed a knife and demanded money. An uninvolved party interrupted the robbery and the man fled on foot, according to the email.
