The complainants notified authorities that they were on the 900 block of South Fourth Street at 2:30 a.m. when a car pulled up behind them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Two females exited the vehicle, with one wielding a pry bar and the other a can of Mace.
The initial complainant became involved in a struggle for her purse after a blast of Mace hit her in the face, with the aggressors demanding “Give it up.” The other victim attempted to run away upon seeing her friend sprayed, but one of the offenders chased and struck her with the bar. She was able to take the weapon away from the offender and chased the individuals back to the car, which she classified as a late 1900s/early 2000s gray or silver four-door, possibly a Mazda that she last saw heading southbound on Fourth Street. She described the first at-large criminal as black, 17 to 18 years old and 5-foot-4; having a thin build and a dark complexion; and wearing a blue head scarf; and the second as black and 20 to 25 years old; having a medium build; and wearing a white T-shirt and a blue and white head scarf.
