Police search for men accused of sexually assaulting woman leaving gas station

ATLANTA — Atlanta police are searching for four people they say sexually assaulted a woman.

Police said the men followed a 34-year-old woman as she left a gas station Sept. 28 around 2 a.m.

They allegedly approached her on Hill Street while she was walking to a nearby apartment complex.

"I don't know what to say. It's really disgusting and it's crazy to me," neighbor Safiya Kiongozi said. "This just doesn't happen. For four people you got together and made a plan. That's disgusting.

Investigators do not believe the victim knew the men. The suspects are believed to be between 15 and 20 years old with ties to Decatur.

"It worries me for my wife and girls," he said.

Police said they have identified one of the suspects, but all four men are still on the run.
