Have you seen this man? He tackled and raped a woman on a late-night walk

Police are looking for a man who “tackled” a woman on a late-night walk in a residential neighborhood and sexually battered her.

Fort Lauderdale police said the woman was walking near the 2600 block of Middle River Drive around 1:30 a.m. Thursday when a man threw her to the ground and attacked her before running away. She described the suspect as a tall, heavyset 40-something-year-old white man with a tattoo on his lower right leg, possibly with an Asian theme.

The victim was treated at the Nancy J. Cotterman Sexual Assault Treatment Center.

Anyone with information should call Detective Yvette Martinez at 954-828-5784 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
