SPD needs help with identifying a man who allegedly assaulted a woman in an elevator in the Central District.
The incident was caught on video, which displays disturbing content and could be inappropriate for younger viewers.
In late May, the suspect followed the victim into an apartment building’s elevator. She was beaten, suffering broken bones and a concussion.
