The student was walking on the east side of Bush Avenue when a heavy-set black woman in a silver, 4-door Saturn pulled up asking to use her cell phone. When the student leaned into the car to give the woman the phone, the woman grabbed her phone and drove away. The student was knocked to the ground. She suffered minor injuries.
The suspect was described as being in her early 20s wearing a light-colored top and shorts.
