INITIAL ALERTEmail
On November 7, 2023, at 4 a.m., at the bus stop at University Parkway and Guilford Avenue, an armed robbery occurred. A JHU affiliate was standing at the bus stop when a male suspect approached the victim, displayed a black colored handgun and stated "give me your phone and any cash". An iPhone and cash was handed over to the suspect. The suspect then ran eastbound on University Parkway towards Greenmount Avenue. No injuries reported.
Quoting the suspect's exact demand ('give me your phone and any cash') is uncommon in Clery alerts and gives the alert documentary specificity
The alert text logs only the facts of the robbery and offers no safety guidance — JHU separately promotes the [Hopkins Transportation Services shuttle](https://ts.jhu.edu/transportation-services/) as a late-night alternative to walking to bus stops in the Homewood area
The 4 a.m. timestamp marks this as a vulnerable-window incident — JHU has consistently flagged the late-night-to-early-morning hours as the highest-risk period for Homewood-area robberies
Naming the cross-streets (University Parkway and Guilford Avenue) gives a precise location that helps shuttle riders and pedestrians plan routes around the documented hot zone
