WINONA, Minn. — A police dispatcher took a 911 call from a woman screaming “get off me” before the line went dead. The dispatcher tracked the call to the 500 block of East Wabasha Street.

Police said, however, that they didn’t observe any marks on his neck but the that the woman had scratches on her wrists.
