A woman was hospitalized Sunday night following a sexual assault after she used a restroom in Mission Bay.

The woman had just finished using the bathroom in De Anza Cove at around 7:50 p.m. when she was attacked from behind by an unknown man, who then proceeded to sexually assault her, the San Diego Police Department said.

The victim was found later by a passer-by who entered the restroom after the man had fled the scene.

The victim was hospitalized after the attack, according to investigators.

Police said they're looking for a person of interest who was riding a blue mountain bike with black rims and silver spokes.

"It is still early in the investigation, and detectives are gathering evidence,'' Lt. Carmelin Rivera said Monday afternoon.

Anybody with information about the attack is being urged to call San Diego Sex Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477, where tips can be phoned in anyonymously.
