SEATTLE —

University of Washington police warned students, staff and faculty about an armed robber who held up a student at gunpoint early Saturday morning.

The man approached a student at Northeast 45th Street and 15th Avenue Northeast, asking for a light, police said.

The robber then pulled out a gun and told the student to hand over his wallet.

Police said the robber is black, in his 20s, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a thin build and a goatee. He wore a puffy jacket and a beanie-style cap.

Seattle police are handling the case because it happened off campus.

Students who want a security guard escort to walk them home can use the Husky Nightwalk program.

Students can call the service at 206-685-WALK. It is available seven days a week from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
