Police: Woman, 37, Sexually Assaulted While Jogging

A 37-year-old woman was sexually assaulted Thursday morning while jogging on a sidewalk along Army Navy Drive, according to the Arlington County Police Department.

At about 6:35 a.m., an unknown man attacked the jogger, knocking her to the ground and kicking her several times. He touched her in a sexual manner against her will, according to a police news release.

The incident occurred in the 2000 block of Army Navy Drive, which is roughly halfway between Interstate 395 exits 7 and 8A and immediately east of the Army and Navy Country Club.

The woman was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the police.

Investigators have identified an African-American man age 30 to 40 as a suspect. He is 5 feet, 10 inches to 6 feet tall with a medium build and had several inches of hair on his head.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a button-down light-blue shirt, dark pants and dark shoes.

"This assault does not appear to be connected to any other incidents in the area and the investigation is on-going," police stated in the news release.

Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area during the time of the attack and witnessed suspicious behavior or the assault itself to contact Detective James Stone at 703-228-4245 or jstone@arlingtonva.us, or call the police tip line at 703-228-4242.
