The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect in a sexual assault and robbery that occurred in downtown Redwood City early Sunday morning.
That's after a woman was walking home at 2 a.m. in the 2300 block of Bay Road when a man approached her with his penis out, the police report said.
After refusing his requests for her to go home with him, she said she called a friend and tried to walk away. Still on the call with her friend, the man ran up to her, touched her private parts and took her cell phone.
Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic man, 5 feet 6 inches tall and in his early 20s. He was wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans, had a “faded” haircut and spoke without an accent, the woman said.
Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to contact the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office's anonymous tip line at 1-800-547-2700.
