A Cal Poly student was a victim of robbery and assault with a deadly weapon on Friday night.
Ryan Alcaraz, 18, was found unconscious on the sidewalk near the corner of Monte Vista Road and California Boulevard, according to a San Luis Obispo Police Department press release.
The biochemistry freshman was transported to Sierra Vista Hospital at about 10 p.m. The police were contacted near midnight after emergency personnel determined that Alcaraz had been struck on the head and was the victim of an assault, authorities said.
Several people reportedly fled the scene when Alcaraz was found, but the police had not yet obtained any descriptions by Saturday.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Alcaraz had been robbed and his property had not been returned yet on Saturday afternoon, the press release said.
Sgt. Rick Crocker of SLOPD said Alcaraz’s condition has improved as of Sunday evening. He added that Alcaraz’s father is in town and will meet with investigators today.
