A gunman assaulted two Japanese students Wednesday night, robbing a man of $30 and sexually assaulting his female companion after ordering her into his car, police said.
The 20-year-old man and 18-year-old woman, who are in the United States learning English, were walking in the 18200 block of Plummer Street about 9:40 p.m. when the gunman approached them, said Officer La Donna Cissell, an LAPD spokeswoman.
The two students are attending English First, a private, four-week language school on the Cal State Northridge campus that is not affiliated with the university, school officials said.
