SAFETY ALERT/AVISO DE SEGURIDAD

Over the past three weeks, there have been 3 attempted sexual assaults near the hiker/biker trail along the Anacostia tributary. One incident occurred ON September 10th near Magruder Park and the other two happened near the West Hyattsville Metro Station. While we cannot confirm that these incidents are connected, the general description of the suspect is similar:  Hispanic male, short black hair, approximately 5'7"-5'9",  19-30 years of age.

In all three incidents the suspect attempted to drag the victim into the woods. The incidents have occurred late at night (12:20am) and early in the morning (7:15am).

For your safety, please take extra precautions when using the trail system. T ell your friends or family the route you will be taking.   If possible, do not walk or jog alone.  Carry a whistle and carry a cell phone.  Do not wear a headset. Stay alert, be observant.  Report all suspicious activity to 301-985-5060.
