According to police:
The 21-year-old woman was walking in the 16400 block of Railway Road Southeast at 10:50 p.m. when a man driving a pickup asked if she wanted a ride.
When she refused, the man jumped out and tried to force her into the truck. The woman fought back and was assaulted, suffering minor visible injuries.
The man sped away. He is described as a white man in his early 30s with a goatee and mustache, dirty-blond or light-brown hair with a salt-and-pepper look.
The man had crooked teeth and was wearing a plaid shirt. The woman told police he smelled strongly of alcohol.
The pickup was black or dark blue, possibly a Ford F150.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 360-786-5500 or 360-740-2740, or Crime Stoppers at 360-493-2222.
