SNOHOMISH — Police are searching for a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in Snohomish early Wednesday.
The 22-year-old woman was walking to work around 3:20 a.m. A man she did not recognize reportedly pulled her to the ground, according to a press release. She told police the man pulled off her pants and underwear, and assaulted her.
The woman fought back, kicking the man in the face. When she broke free, the man tried to follow, police said.
She lost him in the 1900 block of Bickford Avenue. The woman flagged down someone driving by and used their cell phone to call 911, officers said.
The suspect is described as white and in his 20s or 30s. He is 5-foot-7 with short hair and stubble on his face. He was last seen wearing a gray or tan plaid jacket and brown pants or jeans.
Officers and police dogs were searching the area.
