Police looking for suspect

The witness said the suspect they spotted leaving the area was possibly white or Asian, about 5′ 9″, with a slim build.

He was wearing a green hoodie or jacket, blue jeans, and a black beanie or hat.

The woman told investigators she did not know the man who attacked her.

“It really comes down to situational awareness. Just be aware of your surroundings, and if something doesn’t seem right, call 911,” Lowe said.
