Student robbed at gunpoint on Comstock Avenue late Tuesday night

A Syracuse University student was robbed at gunpoint late Tuesday in a parking lot about two minutes from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Syracuse police said.

Here’s what police said happened:

The student, 21, pulled into a lot at her apartment on the 100 block of Comstock Avenue at about 9:50 p.m. and parked.

When she was on her phone, a man opened the passenger door of her car and demanded money. After the student said she did not have any, the man stole her phone and then ran away toward East Genesee Street.

Police said the man showed a black semi-automatic handgun during the robbery.
