Police are searching for two young men involved in a robbery overnight at the Newcastle University's Callaghan campus.
A 20-year-old woman was walking along the Ring Road towards Warabrook Railway Station at about 10.50pm on Wednesday listening to music through headphones.
She didn't notice two males who approached her from either side.
Police say the pair, who had their faces covered with hooded jumpers, demanded her handbag.
She complied and the pair ran off towards the Bar on the Hill.
The young woman gave chase but the bandits managed to escape.
