Man kidnapped and robbed on U campus early Sunday
Three men forced a man on the University of Minnesota campus into a car at gunpoint, robbed him and then dropped him off blocks away early Sunday, according to an alert sent out by the school.
According to the alert, the man was followed from Sally’s Saloon to the Superblock student housing area about 1 a.m. and was forced into a small sedan by three men.
He was then robbed at gunpoint and dropped off between the Superblock and the Cretin Avenue/Vandalia exit of I-94.
The Superblock area is on the campus’ East Bank and comprises four different buildings of student housing.
No further information was available Sunday afternoon.
