Police in Santa Rosa have released a sketch of a man who carjacked a woman and her young daughter and forced the mother to drive to a dark neighborhood, where he sexually assaulted and stabbed the woman while her child was in the car.
The incident began a few minutes before 6 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of a Safeway on Yulupa Avenue in a residential area of east Santa Rosa. The woman, a 29-year-old Santa Rosa resident, was loading groceries into her car when the suspect approached her.
He threatened to hurt her preschool-age daughter if the woman did not do what he said, according to police. The suspect was armed with an unidentified weapon used in the stabbing, police said.
The suspect forced the woman to drive 2 miles to a dark area on Montgomery Drive, where he assaulted and stabbed her. He did not injure the girl. The suspect then fled, leaving the woman and her daughter in the car.
The suspect is described as a Filipino or Asian man in his early 30s, about 5-foot-7 with a slender build and crooked bottom teeth. He was wearing a dark hat and a dark jacket at the time of the attack.
Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call Santa Rosa police at (707) 543-3595.
