Police Seek Suspect in Attack on Woman
Police released a composite sketch Friday of a man who forced a 19-year-old Huntington Beach woman into his car Thursday morning and then sexually fondled her before she escaped.
The woman had just made a call from a pay phone at Magnolia Street and Talbert Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. when an unarmed man forced her into the passenger seat of a dirty white pickup truck, Fountain Valley Sgt. Dann Bean said.
The man made sexual remarks and fondled the woman before she escaped about 10 minutes later at Magnolia Street and Bolsa Avenue in Westminster, police said.
The man is described as about 26 years old, white, 5 feet 11 and 150 pounds, with a slim build and short curly blond hair.
He was wearing a white baseball cap, white T-shirt and blue jeans.
The truck is a mid-1980s Toyota or Nissan, police said.
Anyone with information should call the Fountain Valley police at (714) 965-4485.
