Detectives from the San Diego Police Department’s Sex Crimes Unit are hunting for the suspect in an attempted sexual assault that occurred June 14 in the area of 1300 Diamond Street in Pacific Beach. Investigators said the victim was reportedly jogging on the sidewalk when she was grabbed from behind by the suspect. The man reportedly forced her to the ground and then attempted to sexually assault her. When the victim screamed, the suspect fled the scene on foot. He was chased by two witnesses, who said they saw him get into a mid- to late 1990s, white, two-door Acura. The suspect is described as a dark-skinned male with dark brown hair in his mid- to late 20s. He is believed to be between 6 feet or 6 feet 2 inches tall, with a thin, but athletic build. He is described as clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a blue tank top and tan shorts, but was not wearing shoes, investigators said. Detectives believe this case may be related to a previous series of sexual batteries that occurred in Pacific Beach on May 3 and May 6. In those cases, the suspect groped the women as they were walking or jogging on Pacific Beach-area streets. On May 9, five women were also reportedly groped by a suspect while they were jogging in the area of San Diego State University. Anyone with information connected with these cases is asked to contact the Sex Crimes Unit at (619) 531-2210 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
