Officer say they threatened to kill her if she went in any other direction. Police say once the suspects appeared to leave the area, the victim went to the nearest home to get medical help. The homeowner called 911, saying the woman was at their door and had been severely beaten.
The victim was taken to the local hospital with several broken bones and lacerations. She was able to give police detailed descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle.
Officers say they found the first suspect in Green Oak Township the next morning, driving the same vehicle. The second suspect was arrested in Warren. Both are facing several felony charges.
The case remains under investigation.
