By Kelsey Durham

Police are reportedly investigating an incident involving a St. John’s University student who had her phone stolen and hacked at the end of a date with a Brooklyn man she met on a dating website.

The New York Post reported Wednesday that a 22-year-old St. John’s student went on a date with a man from Williamsburg she met on OKCupid, a popular dating site.

The man allegedly invited her back to his apartment at the end of the date, but grew violent when she declined, according to the report.

The woman told police the man followed her into the subway station and threw a water bottle at her as she tried to leave. The man got away with her cellphone, which he later hacked and sent text messages and made Facebook posts posing as her, the report said.

The student reportedly shared the man’s dating profile with police, who are now looking for the suspect, according to the report.
