When the student reached into her purse to offer them money, one suspect pepper sprayed her and then struck her in the face. The suspects attempted to steal the student's purse, but were unsuccessful, before fleeing the area in a nearby vehicle.\nSuspect details are limited but all three are believed to be teenagers, and at least two are believed to be female. Anyone with information related to this crime is encouraged to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-4545.\nCrimes are never the fault of the victim.",
