FORESTVILLE, Md. - Prince George’s County police have released a sketch that they say shows a man who attacked a woman in Forestville about two weeks ago.
Police say at 10:22 p.m. on August 14, a woman waved down an officer to report an assault near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Walters Lane.
The woman told police she was walking down Walters Lane when a stranger grabbed her, dragged her into a wooded area, and attempted to sexually assault her.
During the attempted assault, the woman fought back and the suspect struck her several times, causing minor injuries.

During the incident, he reportedly had shoulder-length dreadlocks, and was wearing a white shirt, black cargo pants, black shoes, and glasses.
