A Parkersburg woman is recovering Sunday after being attacked in the parking lot of a local restaurant.

Saturday night, the forty-eight year old woman won several hundred dollars on a video gambling machine at the Safari Cafe in Parkersburg.

Police say the woman walked away with only minor injuries.

The suspect has been described as a white male, between 5 feet 8 and 6 feet tall with dark hair weighing between 200-220 pounds.
