Police say a man posing as an undercover, plain-clothes
officer sexually assaulted a woman in Seattle.
The 26-year-old woman was walking on the sidewalk in the
1100 block of NE 93rd
St. when she was approached.
The man reportedly told the victim he was working a sting
in the area and asked for her identification. She
hesitated and began to walk away, but the man confronted
her again.
Police say the suspect then pushed the victim into some
nearby bushes and sexually assaulted her. After the
attack, the suspect fled in an unknown direction and
remains at large.
Police describe the man as a Hispanic male 5’9,” clean
cut, with dark curly hair and a stocky build.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the
Seattle Police Sexual Assault Unit at (206) 684-5575.
Police are also reminding residents if they are suspicious
of an officer they should call 911.
