FREDERICKBURG, Va. (WTVR) – Fredericksburg Police released a sketch of a man who grabbed a female jogger and pulled her into his car. The woman was able to escape her attacker.

In an email to CBS 6, Public Information Officer Natatia Bledsoe said the attempted abduction took place on Highland Road in the Westmont subdivision Saturday morning.

She said the man drove up to the jogger in an “older four-door white vehicle with a red cloth interior.”

The suspect,  who police described as a Hispanic man in his 50’s, grabbed the jogger and pulled her into the passenger side of the car. The woman broke free and ran away. She was not hurt, Bledsoe said.

Police asked anyone with information should call Detective Johnny Wright at
