An 18-year-old UC Berkeley student was robbed at gunpoint in the Southside neighborhood not far from the Cal campus early Saturday morning, authorities report.

The robbery happened at 3:25 a.m. at College Avenue and Derby Street, Berkeley police said.

The robber wore a ski mask and black clothing and appeared to be in their 20s, police said. 

They were seen getting into the rear passenger seat of a black BMW SUV, which left southbound on College Avenue.

The University of California Police Department [sent out a notice](https://twitter.com/UCPD%5FCal/status/1586308236046729217?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) about the robbery at 3:45 a.m. Saturday.

The Berkeley Scanner spoke with the Berkeley Police Department, the lead agency on the case, later Saturday to learn more.

According to CrimeMapping.com, a repository for local police data, there have been 21 other robberies in the Southside neighborhood since early August.
