– the driver asked her for the time, then got out of the car and grabbed her, covering her mouth,

– the front passenger then got out of the car and assisted the first man and grabbed the woman by the legs,

– both men then tried to pull her into the car,

– the victim struggled, broke free, ran into a building, and called police,

– both men got back into the car and drove off.

The men are described as:
