A woman walking though the Overture Center parking ramp Tuesday morning protected herself from attack by kicking the perpetrator in the groin.
Around 10:30 a.m., the 28-year-old Stoughton woman was walking from her car to the stairwell on the second level of the parking ramp when she noticed two men hidden in the stairway.
According to Joel DeSpain, spokesperson for Madison Police Department, the woman did not pay much attention to the men.
The victim was then pulled to the ground by one perpetrator. To free herself, she kicked her foot into the perpetrator’s groin.
“Certainly she’s shaken up by this, and it’s got to be very scary and very alarming, but I don’t think she’s physically injured,” DeSpain said.
The victim ran to safety and dialed 911, and MPD was immediately dispatched to the site.
