*Police seek help finding suspect*

*By Daily Press staff*

Police are still looking for a man who attempted to kidnap and sexually assault a woman who was waiting for the elevator in a parking garage earlier this week.

On May 9, at approximately 10:55 p.m., a female by herself was accosted on level six of parking structure No. 5, located at 1440 Fourth St., near Broadway, police said. The woman was waiting in the area of the elevator when the suspect approached her from behind, placed his hand across her face and wrapped his other arm around her waist. As the suspect attempted to drag the woman toward an adjacent stairwell, she began resisting and screaming.

The suspect fled the scene on foot, police said.

The suspect is described as a medium complexioned Hispanic male in his 20’s, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 160 pounds, having black hair worn slicked or gelled back. The suspect was last seen wearing a tan long-sleeved shirt and black pants.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the sex crimes unit of the Santa Monica Police Department at (310) 458-8451 or the watch commander’s office at (310) 458-8426\. Callers who wish to remain anonymous also may call the We-Tip national hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463).
