Two 18-year-old UW-Madison students were mugged Saturday afternoon by two teens purportedly trying to help them find Halloween outfits, Madison police reported.
The mugging took place about 5:30 p.m. Saturday in a bike path tunnel cutting under the Beltline south of Grand Canyon Drive on the west side. The two freshmen were robbed of cash and a cell phone, with one getting punched, said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
