Woman assaulted in parking structure

An unknown stalker attacked a woman Wednesday in a Church Street carport.

The man caught up to his victim in the north stairwell and grabbed her arm. As the woman pulled away, the stalker clutched her lower leg, but she managed to shake loose. The attacker then gave up his pursuit.

Law enforcement officials have no suspects at this time.
