30 CommentsLast night, according to Public Safety, a student was assaulted on Broadway near West 132nd Street. Two suspects punched the student before fleeing with his property, and one “displayed a large knife during the attack.” This is the third reported attack in one week, including an assault on a student this past Sunday and an attempted robbery early Wednesday morning. Full alert, including description of the suspects, after the jump.

@Death Wish 3 August at CU kind of reminds me of Death Wish 3. Wow I’ve wasted my summer watching old Bronson flicks.
@junior what the hell is going on??
@Alum Two years out of college and the area’s already gone to shit. Though the incident in Harlem does not count. Let’s not fudge our neighborhoods, here.
@nytimes Add to that the store owner who shot 4 would be robbers on 125th and it looks like crime is making a comeback around the area. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/nyregion/14shoot.html
@Jesus Christ now the fucking beaners are attacking students!

@... …I tried making sense of this. I failed.
@Jesus Christ I was having flashbacks to “Naked Lunch”…
@my day doesn't start until i read a well-placed william burroughs reference.
@my favorite is... … “the student was ass”. LOL.
@andre breton automatic writing at its finest.
@Oy with the poodle Well…At least they’re not black this time. This was getting uncomfortable.
@I really want to buy one of those anti-Columbia/Manhattanville shirts they sell at Malcolm X/Frederick Douglas
@LOL Meanwhile, Barnard is ranked above every other Ivy except HYP and Columbia in Forbes. lolol.
@Anonymous A ranking system that weights 20% on, like, “ratemyprofessor.com” aggregate ratings. No thanks.
@oops sorry busy enforcing the one drink per person per hour Lerner policy. Tipsy college students are a big, big threat to society
@Fail #3 Apparently Columbia’s own students is its worst enemy. I mean, students, or should I say thugs, claiming to have accidentally forgotten their ID? That’s the oldest trick in the book! If anything, this attack was probably in self-defense!
Way to go Public Safety.
