Matthew 28:

1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified."
Did Mary Magdalene see the angel rolling the stone away at the tomb?

I think so.

Berean Literal Bible, John 20:

1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early, it being still dark, and she sees the stone having been removed from the tomb
i.e, by the angel.

ἠρμένον (ērmenon)
Verb - Perfect Participle Middle or Passive - Accusative Masculine Singular

Koine had no special continuous progressive tense like the English "-ing".
