A Virginia Commonwealth University student was not injured when she was confronted by a knife-wielding man who attempted to rob her at the school's main academic campus in downtown Richmond.
VCU police said the robbery try was reported at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday outside the Temple Building in the 900 block of West Main Street, where a man with a small knife asked her for money before walking away.
The suspect was described as white, possibly in his early 20s, wearing a gray and white long-sleeve shirt, khaki pants and neon green sunglasses.
