Police say they spent several hours driving around and then the woman dropped the man off near the grocery store. Police wouldn't confirm or deny a sexual assault took place.

Police in Williamsburg sayfive days earlier a 26-year-old woman was driving when the man rose up from the back seat. He had a gun and forced the woman to drive to an undisclosed location where she was robbed and sexually assaulted.
