A 51-year-old UW-Madison staff member escaped injury Thursday night after being mugged by two men outside Bascom Hall on campus.
UW-Madison police said the incident happened at 9:45 p.m. near the southwest corner of the university’s main administration building on top of Bascom Hill at 500 Lincoln Drive.
The staff member struggled with the two suspects, who implied they had a weapon, but the suspects fled on foot without getting any money from the victim.
