Police are investigating after a mob of ATV and dirt bike riders allegedly pulled a woman out of her car and beat her in a late-night attack in Providence, Rhode Island -- the latest incident in what officials are saying is a spate of "out of control" violence. The incident happened Tuesday night, officials from the mayor's office said. Around 11:30 p.m., the 35-year-old victim had honked her horn at a group of ATV and dirt bike riders after they failed to move through two green lights, according to ABC Providence affiliate WLNE. As she drove away, the group surrounded her car and several riders opened the driver's side door, dragged her onto the street and began assaulting her, according to WLNE. Cellphone video obtained by WLNE showed the woman on her knees in the street while an assailant repeatedly punched her.
