Four students at Texas A&M University have been arrested for assaulting and robbing a man who supposedly went to a drug deal last week.
The incident occurred around 7 p.m. on July 5 in the 1400 block of Northpoint Lane at the Northpoint Crossing apartments in College Station, KBTX reported.
According to the victim, he went to the site to purchase narcotics when four people suddenly assaulted and robbed him. He claimed that he was pepper sprayed in the eyes and hit in the head and back with an axe handle, ABC 13 noted.
