Police investigates bus stop robbery

A 53-year-old Madison man was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday morning while waiting at a bus stop on Allied Drive, according to a City of Madison Police Department incident report.

The robbery took place at 11:04 a.m. near the intersection of Allied Drive and Lovell Lane on Madison’s west side. The assailant stole the victim’s cell phone and wallet, according to the report.

MPD Officer-in-Charge Jamar Gary described the suspect in a phone interview as a black male in his 20s, 5 feet 7 inches tall, wearing a black and white checkered jacket, saggy jeans, a gray skullcap and black shoes.

Gary said students have no reason to be on high alert at campus bus stops based on this isolated incident.

MPD brought in a police dog in an attempt to track the perpetrator’s scent, but was not able to locate the suspect.
