A freshman in Greenough was robbed at knife point late last night by a stranger who entered his room through the open door.
Harvard Police arrested the attacker at the corner of Harvard and Prescott streets shortly after receiving calls from the victim and another Greenough resident.
The victim, who asked not to be identified, said the man, who was noticeably drunk, asked for directions to Leverett House, walked out of the room but then walked back in and said, "I am a junkie. Give me your money."
The victim gave the man $20 and his watch and the attacker left the building immediately.
