MADISON, Wis. — A Madison woman “played dead,” to avoid an attacker on Madison’s north side on Sunday night.
Madison police said the 57-year-old was walking to a gas station in the 3400 block of Packers Avenue just after 11:15 p.m. when a man dragged her to a vacant lot, then strangled and punched her before walking away.
