The department said a male suspect fled the scene and ran into a nearby wooded area. Officers were conducting an active search of the area and treating the matter as an ongoing investigation, the release said.
The woman was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson for further treatment, the department said. Officials did not provide details on her condition.
