Got this from my neighborhood Yahoo group; notice originated from Tufts:

A Tufts student reported to the Tufts Police he had been the victim of an attempted robbery on February 28th at approximately 10:45 pm: While walking back to campus on Wallace Street approaching Broadway, he was approached from behind by a suspect who indicated he had a gun (no weapon was shown). The suspect demanded that he hand over his backpack. The victim turned and exchanged punches with the suspect who fled the scene towards Holland Street. No property was taken and the victim was not seriously injured.

The victim described the suspect as follows: a light-skinned Black or Hispanic male, approximately 5'7" to 5'8" tall. The suspect was described as wearing a dark colored "hoodie" sweatshirt, dark pants/Indigo jeans and tan shoes or boots.
