Warning, disturbing description of one incident from a reader:

“This morning (Thursday) around 7:30 am in or around L and 10th St NW, a man sexually assaulted a woman. He came up to her from behind, pulled her pants down and grabbed her crotch. Apparently a witness interrupted the incident. I live right in the area and the police told building management that there have been five similar incidents involving the same suspect (they believe) in “the area.”

This is the first I’ve heard of these assaults and I’m concerned as I am a woman and am out and about in my neighborhood all the time, which is generally busy and populated even at 7:00 in the morning.”
