Couple says suspects did not steal anything

The woman, identifying herself as Nina to local media outlet Fox 32, told the station she was two weeks pregnant when she and her husband were assaulted and she ended up losing the baby.

"We believe in faith, and it wasn't meant to be," she told the outlet. "So, we don't know why this happened to us."

According to the report, Nina recalled being pepper-sprayed, kicked, and punched by the perpetrators. At one point, her husband was even held down and told Nina to run away. The attack, she added, was random, and they weren't robbed.

"I was wearing like a nice dress and heels," she explained to the news station. "I was out on the date with my husband, and they dragged my dress on the ground, and they said, like, ‘We own the street. You can’t just walk around prancing in your little dress.’ And they were saying things that just didn't make any sense to me because they don't know me personally."

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
