The third in a string of robberies near campus left a man with a shallow stab wound Sunday… The third in a string of robberies near campus left a man with a shallow stab wound Sunday night.

Police said five black men in their early twenties confronted a 22-year-old man around 10:30 p.m. on the 400 block of Semple Street — only two blocks from last Wednesday’s robbery.

The suspects spoke with the victim for about five minutes, stabbed him with what police belive to be a box cutter and stole $500, a gold chain and the victim’s bottom grill.

When police arrived, the suspects had left the scene, but the victim, who was taken to UPMC Presbyterian, was conscious and alert. Police couldn’t confirm whether the victim was a Pitt student.

This is the third robbery to occur since students started moving back to campus a week ago. Three students were held at gunpoint during two robberies late last Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. No one was injured during those incidents.
