A Michigan woman says an Uber driver dropped her off at the wrong address and a passerby assaulted her while she walked to her desired location.

Morgan Catton shared the details of the terrifying ordeal on a GoFundMe page and during an interview with a local TV station, describing how she took an Uber from her home in Mt. Clemons to a friend’s house on Detroit’s westside around 10 p.m. on Sept. 13. The driver dropped her off but when she got out she realized she was a block or two from her friend’s house. The Uber had driven away by that time, she said.

“Walking down the sidewalk I noticed a man on a bicycle on the same side of the sidewalk as me,” she wrote. “Before he was about to pass me he gets off his bike, grabs me by my neck and throws me to the ground where he repeatedly punched me in the face.”

The man took off. Catton got up and ran away before calling 911. She spent the night at the hospital and received several stitches in the eye, mouth and lips, she said. Detroit police told local ABC affiliate WXYZ that the suspect remains at large and the attack appears to be random.

“This event that took all of maybe 20 seconds has completely altered and affected my life. Currently this man is still roaming the streets and I pray to God this doesn’t happen to another women or something worse,” she wrote.

Catton said she started the fundraiser to raise awareness about the incident and raise money to pay for medical bills since she does not have insurance.
