University police arrested a man Friday for robbing a UCLA student on Hilgard Avenue last Thursday.
The student told UCPD Thursday night two men threatened her with a silver gun on Hilgard Avenue near Manning Avenue and stole her cell phone. The men then ran east on Manning Avenue.
UCPD found one man the next day, UCPD detectives said in an email statement. They added they are currently looking for the other man.
The man is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles in lieu of $475,000 in bail, according to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Records.
He is scheduled to be arraigned at the Airport Courthouse on May 24.
No further information was immediately available. The case is still under investigation.
