Alexandria Police Investigate Sexual Assault;
Victim Attacked Along Bike Path by Two Suspects
Alexandria detectives are investigating the sexual assault of a woman along the Holmes Run bike path this afternoon. Just before 2 p.m., a 22-year-old Alexandria woman was walking on the path between North Pickett and North Latham streets. Two suspects approached her and one of them displayed a gun.
They forced her off the path into a bushy area north of the run. Both suspects then sexually assaulted her. They fled from the area and were last seen driving a mid-90s model, two-door black Honda with white rims.
The first suspect is described as a white Hispanic male, around 30 years old, clean-shaven with short, coarse hair. He was wearing a mesh-style, blue New England Patriots jersey and blue jean shorts. He is approximately 5'8" tall and 185 to 190 pounds. The second suspect is described as a white Hispanic male, around 30 years old, clean-shaven with dark, wavy hair slicked back with gel. He is also approximately 5'8" tall and 185 to 190 pounds. He was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts.
The victim is being treated at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Anyone who has information about this offense is asked to call Alexandria police at 703.838.4711.
