The attempted rape occurred about 4:45 a.m. near Main and Coronado streets, said Ventura Police Sgt. Gary McCaskill.
The man fled when the woman started screaming, said McCaskill, adding that investigators have spoken with several witnesses.
The suspect is described as black, in his 30s, about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds.
