Original:
Two separate incidents of physical assaults occurred against female victims in Fort Collins neighborhoods Sunday and Monday nights, according to a press release from the city.
These incidents are similar because both women were attacked from behind by unknown male(s) while returning to their apartment complexes.
Both of the victims were able to escape the male assailant(s) and call police, according to the press release. Both female victims suffered physical injuries during the assaults. It is unclear what the motives behind these assaults were, or if the two incidents are linked. Read more here.
