A man displayed a silver handgun at Cheba Hut on 453 West Gilman St. at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday, a spokesperson for the UW-Madison Police Department reported.
The man fled toward University Avenue, and police warned students to avoid the area.
Police described the suspect as a 5-foot-8-inch tall, 160 pound, 20-year-old man with orange curly hair. He wore wire rim glasses and a “reggae style” multicolored jacket with a white shirt underneath at the time, according to a crime alert.
About an hour after sending the first report, Madison police told students there was no threat and they would continue to investigate the event.
