EAST POINT, Ga. — An East Point woman was assaulted and robbed in her home in the Frog Hollow neighborhood on Wednesday before freeing herself to call the police from a neighbor's house.

The woman was able to free herself from the tape and ran to her neighbor's house to call East Point Police.
On Thursday, the woman told 11Alive that she was fine, but declined further comment.
