A University of Idaho engineering student was robbed and slashed with a knife Thursday afternoon by an unidentified suspect in a bathroom of the Engineering Physics Building. As of 5 p.m. Thursday evening, the suspect had not been caught and the victim was in good condition. The Moscow Police Department responded to a report of a stabbing at 2:37 p.m. The victim was found at the scene of the crime, in the east-end basement bathroom of Engineering Physics. He had superficial knife injuries to his ear and back, MPD Assistant Chief David Duke said. He was transported by ambulance to Gritman Medical Center. According to the police report, when the victim entered the bathroom, there were three other men inside, two of whom left at that moment. After the victim went into a stall, the suspect kicked the door in and demanded the victim’s identification and money. When the victim pulled out his cell phone, the suspect pointed a black pistol at him with one hand and swung a knife with the other. He then took the victim’s wallet and cell phone and left the bathroom, Duke said. The police are not sure in which direction the suspect fled, but are currently searching for him. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 160-170 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with “Idaho” in silver letters, dark colored jeans, black shoes and a black handkerchief over his face. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at 882-COPS. For more information, watch this Web site or read Friday's Argonaut.  Add as favorites (27) | Views: 527
