    By Chris Wilkin

    A student has been robbed at knifepoint near Essex University.

    The 25-year-old woman was on a path between Clingoe Hill and Boundary Road, Colchester, when the attack happened.

    A police spokesman said: "She was threatened with a knife. The robber took a purse and mobile phone from her bag."
    continued...

    The attacker then fled towards Tesco. The robbery happened at 8.30pm last night.
