The victim, who was not a UNC student, was walking in Porthole Alley shortly before 3 a.m. when he was approached by four suspects who physically assaulted him and took his cellphone.  As Police arrived at the scene, two suspects left the scene in a silver vehicle; the other two suspects fled on foot and were apprehended.  The victim, who was transported for treatment, did not report seeing a weapon.  Police believe there is no ongoing threat to the campus community.\n\nIf anyone has information which might aid in the investigation, please call 9-1-1.  Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call CrimeStoppers at 919-942-7515.
