The University of Illinois Police Department is investigating an 
attempted robbery that occurred on January 26, 2010 at approximately 6:45

The victim was walking through the parking lot when an individual 
approached him from behind and placed his hands in the victim's back 
pants pocket.  The offender demanded money from the victim.  The victim 
denied the offender's request for money.  The offender then attempted to 
punch the victim in the face.  The victim defended against the punch, 
striking the offender in the area of the right jaw.  The offender then 
ran away in a southwest direction.
