HOLLAND, Mich. – Holland Police are investigating an attempted abduction over the weekend.

The incident happened at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday night near Hope College.

A 19-year-old woman told police that she was walking west on 14th Street after leaving a house near Lincoln Avenue, heading towards her dorm at Kollen Hall. She told police that a black SUV with three or four men inside pulled up next to her and starting yelling at her. They also starting telling her to get in the car. She refused and three of the men got out of the car and two of them approached her and threatened her. She hit both of them and ran to her dorm and made it safely.
