Sexual Assault in Falls Church
On Tuesday, February 5 at 7:45 p.m. a 29-year-old Falls
Church-area woman was abducted and assaulted near Lee Highway and
George Mason Road. The victim was walking on Lee Highway on the
sidewalk and talking on her cell phone when she was attacked. The
suspect grabbed her and touched her inappropriately. He fled the scene
and she was not injured.
The suspect was described as unknown race, approximately 5
feet 8 inches tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a black mask, black
long sleeve shirt, dark pants and tennis shoes.
Detectives are working this case with the possibility that
it is connected to a series of attacks with similar characteristics
and suspect description.
The public is asked to keep personal safety in mind at all
times. Be alert. Someone not paying attention to their surroundings
makes an easier target. Be confident. Walk with a purpose. Trust your
instincts and react to unsettling feelings. Additional Personal Safety
