Sketch Released From February Sexual Assault At Bus Stop

CHICAGO, IL - Chicago police have released a sketch of the suspect in a sexual assault they say occurred at a bus stop near 95th and Halsted in the city's Washington Heights neighborhood last month.

An 18-year-old woman was waiting for a bus just after 5 a.m. on Feb. 22 when a man approached her and "announced a robbery," police said. The man then ordered the victim to a secluded area nearby, where he sexually assaulted her. He took the woman's money and fled the scene, according to police.

The original description of the offender indicated he is a black man, 5'5" to 5'7" with a medium complexion, thin build and a short "patchy" beard. He wore a black North Face "fleece" style jacket, gray jogging pants, black baseball hat with red color under the brim and black boots.

A surveillance image was released with the original report, but it was not clear.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chicago Police Department's Area South Bureau of Detectives at 312-747-8271.
