The hunt is on in Fairfax County for the man who attacked a woman in her apartment in broad daylight.
It happened Monday afternoon not far from Tysons Corner on Dartford Drive in McLean.
Police say the suspect broke through a window and entered the apartment of a 24-year-old woman who was sleeping in her bed. She was startled awake when the man began pulling at her.
Officer Shelley Broderick of the Fairfax County Police says the victim fought off her attacker and screamed, causing the man to run off. The woman was not seriously hurt.
Police say the victim was able to get a good enough look at the suspect to help investigators put together a sketch. The man appears to be Latino, in his 20s, and stands about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. The last time he was seen, he was wearing a black and white striped jacket and jeans.
Police say during the attack the man did not show a weapon, but the brazen nature of this daylight break in has many who live in this neighborhood on edge.
Police say the man ran out the front door of the apartment.
They're hoping someone recognizes the man from the sketch so they can get him off the street.
