LAKE CITY, Fla. — The Lake City Police Department is investigating after an attempted kidnapping Saturday where a woman was allegedly dragged down the road
Police say they responded to a call about an injured person around 3:20 p.m. in at Southeast Inglewood Avenue
When they arrived, they say they found a woman with abrasions on her lower body from being dragged along the road.
The woman explained to officers that she had been talking to a person on social media before inviting them over to hang out.
When the person showed up, they brought three other people, according to the victim's statement.
The four people did not get out of their car when they arrived, so the woman approached the vehicle, police say. She was then reportedly grabbed by the upper arm and pulled halfway into the car through the window.
The people in the car started punching the victim in the head, face and upper body, according to the victim's statement.
While the attack was happening, the driver sped off causing the woman to be dragged on the road for about half a block, police say.
The victim broke free and fell into the street, police say.
Officials say she was taken to the hospital to receive treatment for her injuries.
