Police on Tuesday released surveillance video of two unidentified males who allegedly abducted a woman and assaulted her sexually behind a 7-Eleven in Holmesburg on April 30.

The crime occurred at about 10 p.m. as the victim, 45, was walking to the convenience store at Frankford Avenue and Decatur Street. Several teens or young adults were in a group nearby and began making suggestive comments toward her, police said. Two of the males in the group then grabbed the woman and pulled her into a driveway along the 4000 block of Decatur Street.

One of the attackers assaulted the victim sexually, police said. He was described as black, 20 years old, about 6 feet 1, with a muscular build, dark complexion and a blue and white hoodie. The second attacker was described as black, unknown age, about 5 feet 3 with a thin build. He was clean shaven and wore a dark hoodie with white lettering across the front.
