The robbery occurred across the street from University of California Berkeley's law school.

A woman was robbed Friday evening, while working from her laptop at a business in the 2300 block of College Avenue.

At about 7 p.m. on Friday, a man approached the woman and attempted to swipe her laptop, according to a University of California Police report.
