A 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Madison student was mugged as she walked near campus Friday night, but her yells during the attack attracted the attention of police who arrested the 17-year-old alleged attacker.
Angel Garcia Montes was tentatively charged with attempted armed robbery following his arrest at about 8:30 p.m. Friday at the corner of Park and Regent Streets.
Madison police said the victim was walking in the 200 block of North Frances Street when the suspect, riding a bicycle, tried to steal her purse.
