A Michigan woman says she was randomly attacked by a man on a bicycle after her Uber driver dropped her off at a location in Detroit.
Morgan Catton, 27, wrote in the description of a GoFundMe page that she was “leaving downtown Detroit to meet at a friend’s house” and “took an Uber” to her friend’s residence around 10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13.
“Walking down the sidewalk I noticed a man on a bicycle on the same side of the sidewalk as me. Before he was about to pass me, he gets off his bike, grabs me by my neck and throws me to the ground where he repe atedly punched me in the face. Not a word was shared,” Catton wrote.
After the attack, Catton was able to contact 911 and run toward a location where an ambulance eventually picked her up.
