Police Search for 2 Men in Alleged Assault
Pasadena police are searching for two men who allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted a woman before dumping her barely conscious at Arroyo Park early Saturday in South Pasadena.
The badly beaten woman crawled to a nearby house, where she collapsed and the homeowner alerted police shortly after 2 p.m., police said.
The woman, a Pasadena resident in her 40s, suffered lacerations and a concussion. She was treated and released from Huntington Memorial Hospital, said Janet Pope, a Pasadena police spokeswoman.
Pope said the woman told detectives she was walking to a store about 10 p.m. Friday in the 1200 block of North Fair Oaks Avenue when two men kidnapped her. She told police the two assailants drove her around Pasadena, beat her and sexually assaulted her before dumping her at the park.
The woman described the suspects as clean-shaven men in their early to late 20s, driving a mid-sized burgundy van.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Pasadena Police Det. Kathryn Jorge at (626) 744-4513.
