Two students were jumped walking home from Knight’s Pub, just behind Sterling Central, the victim told KnightNews.com.
The victim said it happened in the middle of Aristotle Avenue, the road right next to Sterling Central, at about 1:50am Wednesday morning. Two students were walking back to the Phi Delta Theta house from Knight’s Pub when they were approached from the right by four individuals.
One of the victims, UCF student Josiah Devine, described the event as he remembered it happening:
He heard the approaching four individuals talking towards himself and his friend, until one of them cocked a pistol while approaching them, and aimed it two feet from his friend’s face. Then the gunman proceeded to hit the student across the face with his pistol, as the other three attacked Devine.
As the students were on the ground, the assaulters took their wallets and one of their cell phones, then ran the opposite direction.
Josiah Devine was driven to the hospital shortly after the incident, requiring stitches.
He described the aggressors as four males, around 6′ 1″ tall, the gunman being white with brown hair, and the other three as african-american males around 6′ 0″ tall.
We’d like to urge our readers to please stay safe and avoid walking home late at night alone or with only one other person.
