He saw the chance and it was like that,\" said Deon Aris, a UCF student who shares his apartment with three roommates, one of which was hurt during the home invasion.Aris said he heard screaming and that his roommate shouted that the attacker had a gun.\"I thought about jumping out the window. I thought, 'I have a little Swiss army knife, maybe I could fend him off,' but it was crazy,\" Aris said. \"And as fast as it started it was done.\"UCF police responded to the incident and a campus-wide alert was sent out.The university confirms the student was beaten with a gun and robbed.\"We're college kids. We don't have any money,\" Aris said.Investigators said the attacker fled the scene with another man in a red or dark-colored sedan, perhaps a Volkswagen Jetta.Most watched: Classrooms without A.C. at Dr. Phillips High SchoolWitnesses described the attacker as a black man with dreadlocks, who was 5 feet 11 inches tall and was wearing baggy gray shorts and a black shirt. \u00A0The second man is described as a black man with a shaved head.This isn't the first incident to happen at Knights Circle.In July, an armed gunman wearing a mask forced his way into another apartment where the door was open and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
