Police say one of the suspects may have been wearing a red T-shirt and the other was described as having a “man bun.”

The university’s emergency alert system previously said one of the men may have had a handgun.

Cornell University Interim President Hunter Rawlings III says in a statement the victim is not affiliated with the university.

Police are investigating.
