An Ohio State student was robbed at gunpoint walking near The Residence on Tenth at 12:20 a.m., on Wednesday, according to an Ohio State public safety notice.
The notice stated that the student was walking near the residence hall at 230 W. 10th Ave. when a light-colored four-door sedan with four men inside approached the student.
Two males exited the back seat and one of them pointed a gun at the student and demanded their items, including a computer and cellphone. The victim complied, and the suspects fled eastbound in the vehicle.
No injuries were reported.
Ohio State sent a public safety notice Friday stating that the primary suspect, a juvenile charged with aggravated robbery, is in custody.
“The Ohio State University Police Division would like to thank the Columbus Division of Police for assisting in the investigation and apprehension of the suspect,” the notice said. “The investigation is ongoing.”
Anyone with additional information pertaining to this crime is asked to contact OSUPD at 614-292-2121.
