The male suspect is described as wearing an all-black jump suit and black hat. No further description is available at this time. The scene is now clear and normal activity may resume.\n\nNo injuries were reported and no property was stolen.\n\nIf anyone has any information regarding this incident or others, please contact the Syracuse Police Department at 315.442.5222 or the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety at 315.443.2224.
