On March 20, officers responded to a business near John Marr Drive in Annandale for an abduction and sexual assault. An employee, an adult female, reported a Hispanic man in his 20-30s attempted to walk into the business around 11:00 a.m. The suspect was denied entry at that time.

The suspect attempted to walk into the business again approximately 10 minutes later and was once again denied entry. On the suspect’s third attempt, he forced his way into the business. He physically and sexually assaulted the victim. The victim was eventually able to escape and call 911.

On Friday, detectives completed a composite sketch of the suspect. Detectives learned the Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) Police Department was investigating a separate sexual assault attempt.
