Glendale Police Seek Assault Suspect

The Glendale Police Department needs your help in finding a suspect who assaulted a woman at 4529 W. Ocotillo Rd. last night (3/11).

Yesterday, at approximately 7:30p.m., a woman in her 20’s was assaulted as she left the laundry room of her apartment complex. She was able to fight off the attacker and go for help. A search of the area was conducted but the suspect was not located.

The suspect is described as an Hispanic male in his late teens or early twenties, 5’7” tall, medium build, clean shaven with short dark hair. He was last seen wearing a grey t-shirt, denim pants and white sneakers.

Because the suspect was seen hanging around the complex for several hours before the attack, Glendale Police detectives will be handing out a sketch of the suspect around the neighborhood.

If anyone has any information about this incident they are asked to call the Glendale Police Department at 623-930-3000.
