Authorities reached out to the public Friday for help in identifying a man who sneaked into a Barrio Logan resident's home and tried to sexually assault her, fleeing when she broke free and called for help.
The intruder, who appeared to be 25 to 30 years old, attacked the sleeping woman at her residence in the 2800 block of Boston Avenue about 3 a.m. on March 25, according to the San Diego Police Department.
"The victim was able to get away and called the police," SDPD Lt. Carmelin Rivera said. "The (assailant) fled before officers arrived."
The perpetrator was described as a roughly 5-foot-9-inch, 180-pound man with a mustache and goatee.
