A robbery near an academic building prompted University Police to issue a public safety notice Saturday evening.

A male Ohio State student was robbed of his cell phone outside Ramseyer Hall, located at 29 W. Woodruff Ave., at approximately 8:30 a.m. Saturday, the notice said.

Three suspects — described as two black men and one black woman — threatened the student before he gave up his phone to a male suspect. They then fled on foot.

The suspects did not use weapons and wore winter hats and dark clothing.

The investigation is open and ongoing, the notice said.

There have been 11 public safety notices issued this year and 5 were related to robberies.
