NYU Clery Campus Notice Robbery On Monday, November 10th, 2025, the Department of Campus Safety received a report of a robbery that occurred at approximately 6:45 p.m., on West 3rd Street, between Broadway and Mercer Street, in Manhattan. The victim, an NYU student, was walking west on West 3rd Street towards Mercer Street when two unknown individuals described as approximately 5'11" in height, with dark complexions, and wearing all black clothing, approached the victim. The suspects stated that they were taking the victim’s jacket, then threw the victim to the ground, and took the jacket. The suspects fled east on West 3rd Street then turned right on Broadway toward Bleecker Street. The victim reported no physical injuries that required medical attention and was offered supportive resources. The robbery was reported to the NYPD. If you have any additional information about this incident, please contact the NYPD  at 800-577-TIPS and NYU Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. Please Remember These Safety Tips: Be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone. Walk in groups whenever you can. There is always safety in numbers. Using a smartphone or other electronic devices, especially with earbuds, can be distracting and may make you a vulnerable target for an assailant.  Report suspicious behavior to Campus Safety without delay. Trust your instincts. If you feel that you may be in danger, seek out others -- a store, or an open NYU facility that has Campus Safety Officers posted. If you are the victim of a crime, do not engage with the assailant as that may put you in further danger.  If you are the victim of - or witness to - a crime, call 911 immediately and then report the incident to the Department of Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. NYU Students can call the Wellness Exchange at (212) 443-9999, 24/7, for confidential medical and counseling support.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
