While withdrawing money from the U.S. Bank ATM at 14th Avenue and Fourth Street Southeast, the victim, 19, was grabbed by a man who demanded his money, University of Minnesota Police Chief Greg Hestness said in a crime alert sent out to the University community Thursday afternoon.
The suspect did not use a weapon and the victim, who is not affiliated with the University, was not hurt during the altercation.
After taking the money, the suspect fled west down Fourth Street Southeast.
