Police seek man in break-in, indecent exposure

Arlington County police are searching for a man who broke into a woman’s apartment, threatened her with a knife, then fondled himself.

Police said the woman was sleeping when a black man in his 30s about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a muscular build came into her apartment on the 2100 block of North 18th Street around 10 a.m. Wednesday.

He woke her up and threatened her with a large knife. He wouldn’t let the woman leave the apartment, and exposed and fondled himself repeatedly, police said.

The culprit then fled the apartment without taking anything and the unharmed victim called the police.

Anyone with information should call Detective Michael Austin at 703-228-4241.
