A man sexually assaulted an 80-year-old woman in Miami, cops say. Have you seen him?
Detectives are seeking help to identify a man who they say sexually assaulted an 80-year-old woman last weekend, according to authorities.
It happened early Sunday morning in the area of Little Havana and Flagami at NW 37th Avenue and NW First Street, the Miami Police Department said in a statement Thursday.
According to the woman, she was there around 4:50 a.m. when a man approached her from behind — dragging and sexually assaulting her behind a building, police said.
After the assault, police said, she fled to a nearby business and called 911.
Cops describe the suspect, who fled in a newer model silver Chevy Malibu, as a 5 feet, 11 inches tall white man in his 30s. He has short, brown curly hair with a full beard and tattoos on both arms, authorities said.
