An armed robbery occurred at about 5:51 p.m. Wednesday night behind 700 Regent Street on the bike path, Madison Police Department Lt. Dan Olivas said.
Olivas said the suspect approached the victim near West Washington Avenue and Regent Street and confronted him with a knife, taking the victim’s laptop and cash. He then fled on foot on the bike path toward the Kohl center, according to a WiscAlert.
The suspect is a white male, who wore jeans, a dark windbreaker and dark knit stocking cap, the alert said.
Olivas said police attempted to use a dog to track the suspect but have not had any luck. He said police are currently investigating the case, and will issue a report if they make an arrest.
