CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan (WABC) -- A woman is speaking out after she says she fought off three men who attempted to rob her while she was riding her bicycle in Central Park on Sunday night. Katherine Marroquin said she was biking on East Drive near East 90th Street when the men confronted her and struck her in the head. She said she believes the suspects were targeting valuables. "I think they were trying to like, steal phones, maybe, and they just saw me, saw the bike. They were like, 'oh, money,'" she said. Marroquin said she purchased the bicycle last year for her commute between the Bronx and Manhattan and believed biking would be safer than taking the subway. She said the encounter happened in a dark area and that the men appeared suddenly. "It's just... they were hiding somewhere, like it was really dark and they waited for me to lean down and wait. And then they appeared," Marroquin said. According to Marroquin, the three men emerged from behind bushes along the running track near the reservoir in Central Park, close to the East 90th Street and Fifth Avenue entrance, shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday.
