Springing out from bushes lining Mount Vernon Avenue, a group of five men knocked a woman to the ground and stole her purse May 15, police said.

The unidentified woman was not injured in the 10:28 p.m. attack on the avenue’s 1200 block, according to authorities. They did not release the stolen purse’s contents.

The five men later fled and the incident remains under investigation, said department spokeswoman Ashley Hildebrandt.
