According to police, officers from Zone 3 received information from a caller who said they were approached by a woman saying she was attacked and pistol-whipped while working inside the spa.

The woman told police she was letting a customer out of the business when two men wearing masks pushed their way inside.

Police say the woman was taking to the hospital in serious, but stable condition with injuries to her head.

By the time police arrived, the men were gone.
