The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Saturday that two University of Illinois at Chicago students had been injured in two separate attacks over the previous three days.

The first incident occurred around 3:20 in the afternoon this past Thursday, August 26th, when two thirteen to fifteen year old boys ran up to a UIC student at the 1200 block of South Blue Island Avenue and pushed him down onto the ground.  The suspects punched and kicked the student in the face as they took a cell phone and cash from his pant pockets.  The victim reported the incident and fire department officials arrived and treated him for cuts and bruises to his face.

The second incident occurred early Saturday morning around 2:15 AM.  The attacked happened in the center of campus on Roosevelt Road when a 22-year old UIC student was approached by a stranger and punched in the face.  The attacker arrived and fled in a dark blue four-door vehicle.  The victim was taken to the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago suffering from a broken jaw.
