NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Police say a Newport News woman was allegedly beaten by a group of people, including an ex-boyfriend, in the early morning hours of Oct. 7 after leaving The Alley Night Club.

According to Holly McPherson with the Newport News Police Department, the 22-year-old victim was kicked and punched in the head by a mob after leaving the club at 100 Newmarket Square and walking toward Soap and Suds at 6044 Jefferson Ave.

Police say the woman was not hospitalized following the assault but had woken up later that morning with neck and back pain.
