In the early hours of October 2, a college student walking through the parking lot at Niagara Court and Junction Avenue was approached by a man with a knife, demanding money. The student said he had no money, and the man took off into the woods near the Bagley Nature Area off Buffalo Street.
Although the would-be robber was never caught, UMD Police Lt. Tim Legarde says violent crime is very rare on campus, in part because of proactive patrols and high officer visibility.
