Police responding to a report of a group threatening people at a light-rail station at the University of Minnesota stopped seven juvenile males who fled from the Minneapolis platform, a university representative said Monday.

Two males who were carrying metal pipes were identified through video surveillance and witness descriptions, said Lacey Nygard, a University of Minnesota spokeswoman. Police issued them citations.

University of Minnesota Police were dispatched to the Green Line’s East Bank station at 9:45 p.m. Friday.

Police asked for assistance from Metro Transit and Minneapolis police for a group of eight to 10 males “chasing people around with hammers,” according to initial emergency radio traffic posted by Minneapolis Crime Watch & Information.

Officers found no one injured as a result of the incident, Nygard said.

Police cited two males for disorderly conduct and fleeing police on foot; one was also cited for giving police a fictitious name. A police report didn’t specify their exact ages, but indicated that one is 12 or 13 and the other is 14 or 15.

On Wednesday, the University of Minnesota issued an alert about an attempted robbery at the East Bank light rail station that day at 1 a.m.

Two people harassed two male students and demanded their wallets. When the students refused, the suspects assaulted them and fled from the platform. The students were taken to the hospital for evaluation after they received bruising and cuts on their faces, according to the alert.
