A Kansas University student was hit on the head and robbed, police said, in what appears to be a random crime.

The incident happened at 4 a.m. Friday on the west side of McCollum Residence Hall, 1800 Engel Road, where the victim lives, the KU Public Safety Office said.

Police said the male victim told officials that he was approached by four men, who hit him on the head and took his wallet.

Officers are working to identify the suspects who left in a small, beige four-door car. Police said the victim did not indicate he knew the suspects.

Information about the crime should be reported to KU Crime Stoppers, at 864-8888.
