Girl, 17, attacked in Vienna
The teenage girl was attacked as she sat on the front steps of her apartment on the 2500 block of Chain Bridge Road, police said. The attacker, who police do believe to be the same man attacking women near Fair Oaks Mall, walked into the building early Friday morning. When he came out a short time later, he grabbed the girl from behind. The victim broke free and the man ran off. The attacker is a Hispanic male in his late 20s. He is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds. He was wearing shorts and a purple, polo-style shirt. Anyone with information should call 866-411-TIPS(8477).
