The search is on for a man accused of attacking a woman and sexually assaulting her at a north Wichita apartment complex.

Police were called to a complex in the 2300 block of North Somerset, near 21st and Amidon, around 1:30 Monday afternoon. A woman reports she left the complex’s laundry room, and was then attacked with a hammer. During this attack the woman was hit in the head and had her pants pulled off, but the suspect suddenly stopped and fled when some else was heard approaching the area. The 22-year-old woman was taken to a hospital to get checked out. Police described her injuries as serious but not life-threatening.

The suspect in this case is described as a tall, black, man, with a slender build and bald head. He was wearing a brown shirt.

According to police, this attack involved a stranger in the middle of the day, which is very rare. It is not believed this suspect is tied to any other cases at this time.

Anyone who can help identify this suspect or knows more is asked to call police directly at 268-4407. You can also call the See Something, Say Something Hotline at 519-2282, or Crime Stoppers at -267-2111.
