PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police in Vancouver are asking the public’s help in finding the suspect in a random assault on a jogger which happened Sunday morning.
At around 7:30 a.m., officers responded to a report of an assault of a woman jogging in the 1100 block of Southeast 99th Street.
Just minutes before, officials said the woman told police that a man riding a bike had approached her from behind, grabbed her genital area, then pushed her to the ground where she hit her head.
After a struggle on the ground, police said the woman was able to fight off the man, who rode away on his bike.
No serious physical injuries were reported.
Authorities say footage from a nearby video camera captured the suspect, described as a white man in his late teens or early twenties, 5’7″, wearing black jeans and a grey hoodie, and riding a bike.
“Given the random nature of the attack, community members in that area should use extra caution and consider walking or running with another person,” police said.
Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity is encouraged to contact Vancouver Police.
