Illinois -- A 19-year-old Millikin University student fought off a would-be robber about 7:45 p.m. Friday.
The young woman told police she was walking from her apartment to a friend's apartment, Decatur police said.
"She was trying to text message a friend on her cell phone and wasn't paying a lot of attention to her surroundings," a police spokesman said. "A man came up behind her and grabbed her purse. She tried to run but the assailant grabbed the front of her shirt."
The woman punched her assailant in the upper body and ran back to her apartment where she called university security personnel. The would-be robber left empty-handed.
