The 22-year-old woman told officers that she was leaving The Reserve on Third nightclub at 452 E Third Street when the incident happened.
The victim’s sister told her to get in the car, but a group of women thought “the words were meant for them,” Sheldon said.
The group started assaulting the 22-year-old woman.
The victim told officers that the group pulled several braids from her scalp and repeatedly stomped and hit her, Sheldon said.
During the assault, the group allegedly stole approximately $200 and other items from her purse.
The victim said the assault ended when someone started shooting a gun, Sheldon said.
The victim has non-life-threatening injuries.
This incident remains under investigation by the Dayton Police Department’s Violent Offender Unit.
