Myrtle Beach SkywheelAccording to local WBTW news:  Officers responded to First Avenue South around 3:30 a.m. and made contact with the victim, the police report says.

The victim told police she parked near the Sky Wheel and was walking on the beach after midnight when she noticed a white male following her. The report says she turned and walked the other direction, and the man grabbed her by the throat and she screamed.

The woman stated that when she came out of shock on the beach , she was wearing no pants.  She said that her cell phone was also missing.

Myrtle Beach is ranked the 17th most dangerous city in America by highly acclaimed Neighborhood Scout.
