HICKORY - A woman walking through a southwest Hickory neighborhood Monday was kidnapped and sexually assaulted, authorities said.
The Hickory woman was walking along Fifth Street S.W., just off of U.S. 70, about 8 a.m. when a car pulled up next to her, police said.
A man stepped out of the car, grabbed the woman from behind and wrestled her into his vehicle, police said. She was sexually assaulted behind a building a few blocks from where she was abducted, police said.
She was found naked by employees of a nearby business. Her clothes were found on a street a few blocks away, police said.
The woman was treated at Frye Regional Medical Center. Police would not provide a description of the man or of the vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Hickory Police Department at 828-324-2060.
