A group of people tried to kidnap a San Diego State University student after stealing her cell phone, according to campus police.
The alleged incident happened around 12:35 a.m. Sunday on 55th Street and Aztec Walk near the athletic complex.
The female student told officers she was walking home and dropped her cell phone. That’s when she says someone got out of a nearby sedan, snatched her phone, got back into the car and fled.
According to police, the vehicle returned a few minutes later and offered the woman her phone. When she went to retrieve the phone, someone reportedly tried to pull her into the car.
The victim was able to escape with her cell phone and call police.
Police said there were six suspects, but they only have a good description of one. He is described as a slender African-American man with short, curly hair wearing khaki pants and camouflage boxers. He was not wearing a shirt and appeared to have tattoos on his chest and arms.
The suspects were riding in a silver or gold Toyota Camry with a sunroof. The sedan was last seen driving east on Montezuma Road and was captured on surveillance video (pictured above.)
