JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Police are looking for three men who broke into a college student's apartment, fought with him, and ran off leaving a toy gun behind.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the incident happened Friday at an apartment complex in the 1300 block of North Don Quixote Circle, a block south of Beach Boulevard and San Pablo Road.
A 20-year-old University of North Florida student told police three men knocked on his door around 11:30 p.m. He says he opened the door and the guys told him they had the wrong apartment.
The man says about 20 minutes later the same three men came back to his apartment. He says one of the men forced the door open, and pulled out a gun.
The victim says he hit the gun as hard as he could, then got into a fight with the suspect. At this time the other two suspects barged in and tried to take an X-Box 360 and laptop computer.
The student tells police he fought with all three men. He says one of the suspects dropped the gun, and picked up the victim's BB gun before taking off.
After the suspects left, the victim examined the gun they'd left, and realized it was a fake.
Police questioned the victim's two roommates, who were home at the time of the incident. They told police they heard a scuffle, but it happened so quickly that they came out and found the suspects had gone.
