EAST LANSING (WWJ) -- Two suspects are in custody after police say a pizza delivery driver was robbed at gunpoint on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing.

According to a campus alert, a pizza delivery driver was outside Snyder Hall, on Bogue St., when he was approached by two young men.

One of the men, who was armed with a handgun, demanded the victim's wallet and the pizza, MSU Police said.

The victim was assaulted by one of the suspects, suffering minor injuries, before the two men took off running.

Officers responded quickly, set up a perimeter, and used a K9 to track the suspects, who were reported last seen running southbound on Bogue.

One of the suspects was arrested immediately, police said, while the second was located and arrested at around 2 a.m.

The suspects' names were not immediately released, with charges pending.

"We appreciate the assistance of the East Lansing Police Department, the Meridian Township Police Department, and Ingham County 911 during this incident," MSU police said, in a statement.
