Woman beaten; police looking for suspects

Lawrence police are looking for suspects who they say pulled a 23-year-old woman into their car by her hair, beat her and dragged her about a half-block before they let her go.

It happened about 2:15 a.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Frontier Road and Fireside Drive.

Police said the woman did not know the four people inside the car but had exchanged words with them moments earlier at the parking lot of a nearby convenience store. Police said that when she approached the car again moments later after hearing someone inside the car say something to her, the male driver grabbed her by the hair and others in the car began punching her.

Police are looking for the car involved, which was described as a gold Pontiac Sunfire or a Saturn.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-TIPS.
