*By Daily Press staff*

A Santa Monica woman was raped early Friday morning by a man who broke in through her bedroom window, police said.

The assault on the 26-year-old woman occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m., in the 1200 block of 21st Street, according to a Santa Monica Police press release. The suspect brandished a weapon during the assault, though it was not a firearm, police said.

The suspect was described as an African-American male, approximately 20-years old, 6-feet-one-inch tall, medium to heavy build, short, dark hair, facial hair (possibly a goatee), wearing a dark gray jacket, orange colored Hawaiian-print shirt, black pants, and a white visor-type hat.

Anyone with information leading to the identification of the person responsible for this crime is asked to call Detective Lucio at 310- 458- 8451 or 310-458-8218.
