Two men robbed a UC Berkeley student near California Hall on Saturday night.
The victim, an 18-year-old male, was sitting on a ledge on the east side of California Hall when he was approached by two men about 11:30 p.m., according to a UCPD crime alert released Monday.

The two men fled with the skateboard.
UCPD searched the scene but could not locate the perpetrators. The victim was not injured during the encounter.
