Crime Solvers Seeks Identity of Assault Suspect

Fairfax County Crime Solvers is asking for the public’s assistance identifying the person(s) responsible for assaulting two women in the Reston area. At approximately 10:10 p.m. on Saturday, September 29, a 24-year-old Reston-area woman walked into the laundry room of an apartment in the 12000 block of Greywing Square. A man followed her in and grabbed her from behind. The suspect pushed the victim to the ground and fled when she screamed.

A short time later a second woman was assaulted. At 12:50 a.m. on Sunday, September 30, a 19-year-old Reston-area woman was walking along a path near Colts Neck Road and Sunrise Valley Drive. The woman noticed a man walking on the path from Greywing Square. The man began following the woman and trying to engage her in conversation. The woman turned around and saw the man fondling himself. The suspect grabbed the victim but she was able to break free and run away.

In both cases the suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his 20s to 30s. He was approximately 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 160 to 170 pounds. He had short, brown hair that was slicked back.

Anyone with information on these incidents or the suspect(s) involved is asked to call Fairfax County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477. A $100 to $1,000 cash reward will be paid for information that leads to an arrest. As always, callers never have to give their names or appear in court.
