On Saturday afternoon, two Brown students were threatened at knifepoint during an attempted robbery outside Verney-Woolley Dining Hall, according to an email from the Department of Public Safety and videos reviewed by The Herald. According to Ben Cherek ’27, a student involved in the incident, one student was punched but neither was stabbed.
Around noon, Cherek was “on (his) way to get a burrito bowl” when he saw two people fighting in front of the V-Dub.
“At first, I just kind of sat and watched, because people fight all the time on campus,” Cherek said. “And then someone hits the ground and starts screaming, ‘Help!’”…
