A homeless woman was sexually assaulted by a man who is now on the run.

Police were called Thursday, May 14, at 7:20 p.m. to the 3200 block of Golansky Boulevard in Woodbridge to investigate a sexual assault call, according to a Prince William County Police press release. The press release states that the victim, a 55-year-old woman, told police that she was lying in her tent in a wooded area off Golansky Boulevard when a man approached.

When the victim attempted to call police, the man entered the victim’s tent before taking her phone and throwing it. A fight then ensued between the two parties, according to police.

The victim reported minor injuries and was treated at an area hospital.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic or light-skinned man, between 18 and 22 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 140 pounds with a medium build, dark-colored hair, and a silver earring in his left ear.
