Attempted Robbery 4 Bristol St October 5, 2020

A message from Chief Ronnell A. Higgins

To the Yale Community,

I write to let you know that an attempted robbery occurred this evening at approximately 6:20 pm in the vicinity of 4 Bristol Street and the Farmington Canal pathway. A teen reported that he was encircled by a group of 9-12 teenaged boys on bicycles. They taunted him, demanding money or other property. A member of the group then stuck the victim. Physical injuries were reported and the victim is seeking medical assistance. Yesterday a similar incident occurred on the New Haven Green at approximately 7 pm. The victim, a member of the Yale Community, reported that he was stuck in the face but did not report any physical injuries. The New Haven police are investigating both incidents.
