Recognize this guy? West Allis police need your help to ID suspect in attempted assault

WEST ALLIS -- The West Allis Police Department is asking for your help to identify a suspect in an attempted assault.

Officers responded to a business near 77th and Becher St. just after 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8th for a report of an attempted assault.

The initial investigation indicates an African-American male approached an adult female and asked her for change. The female pointed in the direction of a change machine and turned her back to the male. When she did this, the male grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a bathroom and demanded she remove her clothes. The victim was able to get away from the male and fled to a nearby business. The victim suffered minor injuries during the course of the altercation.



The suspect is described as a male, African-American in his 40s, approximately 5' 7" tall, having an average build and gray stubble on his face. The suspect was wearing a white t-shirt, denim jacket, blue jeans, dark shoes and a black cloth covering his head. It appears the suspect arrived and left the scene on foot.

Anyone with information about the suspect in this incident is asked to contact the West Allis Police Department at 414-302-8000.
