WOODBRIDGE — A woman walking along a sidewalk was assaulted early Wednesday.
The victim was in the area of Walnut and Sycamore streets when a man jumped out from bushes and grabbed her. The woman broke free and fled to a nearby business, according to a Prince William police spokesman.
At 6:56 a.m., police dispatched K9 units and a helicopter to search for the suspect but turned up nothing.
The woman was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.
Police said residents should expect to see a stepped-up police presence in the area as they continue to investigate the incident.
