A female San Diego City College student was rushed to the hospital following an attempted robbery near campus Thursday.
School officials say a 54-year-old male student shoved the 19-year-old woman against the wall at the Mathematics and Social Sciences Building near 16th and C streets, just steps from the headquarters of the San Diego Police Department downtown.
The man did not use a screwdriver as police originally reported.
Other students tackled and restrained the would-be robber, who was later arrested.
The victim suffered an injury to the bridge of her nose that campus police described as minor. School officials confirmed the student was taken to UCSD Medical Center and appeared to be doing okay.
San Diego police assisted campus police in the incident.
Video from NBC 7 Newschopper showed SDPD patrol cars and San Diego Fire-Rescue engines parked outside one of the buildings on the urban campus.
