Song of Solomon 5

Song of Solomon 5:7
"The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
The struck me and wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
What kind of crazy city is this woman living in?  I thought this was supposed to be Jerusalem, capitol of Israel, home of God's temple.

Why are the police-equivalent attacking people at night?  Even in those days, there surely would be some out and about.  The city was walled, so it's not like they could have thought she was an intruder.
