A man attempted to sexually assault a woman Sunday at a Poway Park but was stopped when a good Samaritan intervened, according to the San Diego Sheriff’s Department.
The attempted assault happened about 10:30 a.m. in the park at 12988 Bowron Road, near the Poway Boys and Girls Club, said SD sheriff’s Lt. Michael Knobbe.
The woman being attacked screamed for help and a nearby person intervened. The victim then called 911 for help, Knobbe said.
The suspect is described as white, between the ages of 35 and 40, Knobbe said. He stood about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall and weighed between 230 and 240 pounds. He is balding and has short white hair. He was wearing a cream- or gray-colored T-shirt and gray or black sweatpants or shorts.
Anyone with information on this suspect was asked to call the San Diego sheriff’s department at 858 565-5555 or 911. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
