Two male suspects attempted to pull a woman into their car Wednesday while waiting to cross the street by Lot 4 in Upper Campus at the West Turn, according to University Police.

Around 11:30 a.m., a black 1996 to 2000 Honda Civic two-door coupe stopped north of the crosswalk and the passenger of the vehicle asked the victim if she wanted a ride, according to campus police. The passenger got out of the car and grabbed the victim by the arm but she was able to break free and ran to notify the police.

According to campus police, the victim is an employee of an on-campus business.

The vehicle had tinted rear side and back windows and the license plate is unknown, and the suspects were last seen southbound on West Campus Drive towards Seventh Street, according to campus police.

Composite sketches of the suspects have been made available.
