A UNIVERSITY student was robbed of his laptop computer at knife point while walking along a Keiraville street late on Monday.
Police said the 18-year-old was walking along Murphys Ave about 10.15pm when a white sedan pulled up and two males approached him.
Police Constable Michael Bugg said one offender had a knife similar to a Swiss Army knife.
``They demanded the laptop which (the student) handed over and they left in the car," Const Bugg said. The knife-wielding offender was about 180cm tall and his accomplice was heavily built.
Both were in their early 20s and fled in the car.
