Seattle police report a woman was sexually assaulted Sunday morning in Myrtle Edwards Park.

Officers responded to the park after several calls saying a man was chasing people.

When officers arrived, they located the victim who told police she saw the man chasing another woman and tried to run when he turned on her, tackled and assaulted her.

People at the scene directed officers to a parking garage nearby where they located the 25-year-old suspect.

Witnesses identified the suspect, and he was arrested. Police also discovered the suspect had an outstanding warrant for failure to register as a sex offender.
