According to police reports, a woman from Michigan who was in Atlanta for a modeling photoshoot took an Uber to the Target on Mecaslin St. on July 28.
As she was riding the escalator, she raised her long dress so it wouldn’t get caught. She reported to police she then felt a man behind her fondle her leg. She yelled at him to get away from her, and walked away from him.
