Student robbed at McDonald’s on Hillside

A Wichita State University student was robbed in a McDonald’s parking lot near campus, authorities said.

Two men were in the parking lot of the McDonald’s at 17th and Hillside on Thursday night at around 8:30, Wichita police Sgt. Nikki Woodrow said Friday. They were approached by two suspects, she said, one of them possibly armed with a gun.

They stole a wallet and phone from one of the men.

Woodrow described the suspects: One wore a white shirt and black shorts. The other wore a blue-hooded sweatshirt and black shorts.

A WSU alert said university police responded to the call, saying a 23-year-old student was robbed leaving the McDonald’s with food.

“During the altercation, the student received minor injuries from being struck in the face and also possibly from a stun gun or Taser,” according to the alert.
