A male Miami University student reported to Oxford Police that he was assaulted from behind by an unknown assailant at approximately 1:15 a.m. Saturday while walking alone on College Avenue in the area of Vine Street.

The property taken during the alleged robbery belonged to a male Miami student who lived at the residence, the Oxford man told police.
