The victim is described as having short dark hair and wearing a red sweatshirt, black jacket, and blue jeans at the time of the assault.

“If you were driving in the early morning hours of March 23rd, and you witnessed a woman in a grey Toyota Highlander that appeared to need help, please call our tip line,” stated Sergeant Sanjay Kumar. “This victim was waving and using the hand symbol that communicates domestic violence.”
