Another woman assaulted
in Arlington park
Arlington County police are increasing patrols around Barcroft Park and asking women not to walk alone on bike paths after two women were assaulted there in a month.
A woman told police she was assaulted by a stranger near the 4600 block of South Four Mile Run Drive on Tuesday night.
An officer found the woman there at about 11 p.m. after responding to a call from an off-duty police officer who thought he had seen a couple arguing behind an apartment building.
Another woman reported being assaulted in the same area last month as she was walking on a bike path.
The woman had been dragged into the bushes at about 1:30 p.m. after an unknown man put a cloth over her face, police said. – Taryn Luntz
