Geneva Sozanski was taken to Union Hospital. She has a black eye, stitches in her head and bruises.

Police are still looking for the suspects wanted in Monday afternoon’s attack on Eastern Avenue. It started when a black car pulled up next to Sozanski on the sidewalk and a man jumped out and began yanking at her purse.

Sozanski says she remembered waking up in a pool of blood on the ground and a passerby helping her and calling police.
