Police searching for sexual assault suspect after jogger attacked
Police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman while she was jogging in Northborough.
The incident happened at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. Police say a young woman was jogging toward a railroad bridge when she saw a man standing at the railing. Shortly after she passed him, she realized that he was running after her. The suspect then “grabbed her from behind,” according to the Northborough Police Department.
When the woman turned to confront the suspect, he ran off, police said.
Police called in a K9 unit to help track down the suspect. The victim told police she saw a small, dark-colored car on the road just before police arrived.
The victim described the man as Hispanic, 5-foot-8-inches tall, in his 30s, wearing khaki shorts and a black t-shirt.
