Public safety officers are looking for a group of men who attacked a woman and took her motorized bike Sunday.

The 45-year-old victim told Cpl. Scott Farr she was leaving the parking lot of Dixie Curb Market on 309 West South St. around 8:50 p.m. when eight or nine men flagged her down at the roadway in front of the vacant restaurant next door.

They asked her to pull into the parking lot and she did. She said the men forced her to the ground and pulled her over to the side of the building. They began going through her pockets, looking for money. One pocket was pulled so hard it was ripped off.

One of the men got onto her blue and black Beamer moped and drove off in the direction of West Henrietta Street. The victim said the moped is worth $2,000.

EMS was called. The victim refused medical attention and said she only needed a ride home.
