Couple says suspects did not steal anything

The woman, identifying herself as Nina to local media outlet Fox 32, told the station she was two weeks pregnant when she and her husband were assaulted and she ended up losing the baby.

"I was wearing like a nice dress and heels," she explained to the news station. "I was out on the date with my husband, and they dragged my dress on the ground, and they said, like, ‘We own the street. You can’t just walk around prancing in your little dress.’ And they were saying things that just didn't make any sense to me because they don't know me personally."

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
