Crime Stopper of the Week

Assault

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 10 a.m., a 30-year-old woman was attacked on the Los Gatos Creek Trail. The woman was pushing a stroller with her baby, and was accompanied by her dog. As she walked in the area just north of Highway 85 on the trail, a man jumped from the bushes, grabbed her, and attempted to drag her into the bushes. The victim screamed, which caused him to run away. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, slender build with close-cropped brown hair, and no facial hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt, possibly with writing on the front, and blue jeans.

Investigator: John Campos, Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Police, Phone: (408) 354-6855
