A Domino’s pizza delivery man was robbed at gunpoint and assaulted after delivering pizza to Quinnipiac University early Tuesday morning.
Police said a woman pretended to need help and lured the victim, who suffered a head injury during the attack and robbery.
Investigators went to the York Hill Campus of Quinnipiac at 305 Sherman Avenue around 1 a.m. to investigate the report of an armed robbery and learned that a 25 year-old man had delivered a pizza to someone on campus and was leaving the driveway when he saw a woman at the bottom of the driveway to campus screaming for help and stopped to help her, police said.
As he was trying to provide assistance, a man dressed all in black appeared, approached him, pointed a gun at his head and demanded his personal belongings, police said.
The robber dragged the deliveryman out of his car, forced him to his knees, hit him three times in the head with the gun, then stole his money, cell phone and car keys.
The robber, the female who originally screamed for help and another man then fled in a green van.
The Hamden Police Detective Division is investigating.
