Salisbury police probe abduction, assault of woman

By Globe Staff

Salisbury police are investigating the abduction of an 18-year-old woman walking along Forest Street yesterday.

The woman was walking about 2:30 p.m. when a minivan pulled up and three men wearing hoods jumped out and pulled her into a nearby wooded area, police said. The men tied the woman's hands behind her back and placed a plastic grocery bag over her head before they assaulted her.

After about five minutes the men left, and the woman flagged down a passing motorist and called for help. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The woman told police the minivan was a dark Chrysler with Massachusetts plates.

Anyone with information may call police at 978-465-3121. The woman was a victim of a similar attack about two weeks ago, police said.
