This from Officer Mike Smith, PSA 208: "Regarding the 1700 Block of R Street... Information is somewhat limited. The victim stated he was walking in the 1700 Blk of R St NW when the suspect approached him from behind. The suspect then stabbed the victim in the back. The victim stated he did not know his assailant. The suspect fled and is described as a black male approx 5'8', medium build with black pants and black shirt. There is no other information at this time."

* Subject: Wanted Flyers in Reference to 3D Sexual Assault
Hello All,
The Sexual Offenses Unit is currently investigating a First Degree Burglary and First Degree Sexual Abuse which occurred on 7/10/08 at approximately 0400 hours at a residence in the 3300 block of 18th Street, N.W.
In this case, the suspect gained entry into the complainant's home though a rear basement door in which the complainant inadvertently left her house keys in the door lock when she returned home at approximately 2230 hours. At approximately 0400 hours, the complainant woke up from her sleep and found the suspect lying on top of her. The complainant became involved in a struggle with the suspect. During the struggle, the suspect used one of his fingers to vaginal penetrate her vagina. Afterwards, the complainant was able to push the suspect away where he ran from the bedroom and out of the residence.
On 7/11/08, at 1000 hours, the complainant responded to the Sexual Offense Unit where she sat down with the lead detective and Sergeant R. Reid for a composite interview. A composite drawing was created based on description provided by the complainant. A flyer has been made and we are going to pass it out to the public tonight in hopes of identifying the suspect. I will deliver the flyers to the 3D Watch Commander for distribution.
Lt. Pamela Burkett-Jones
Sexual Offenses Branch
Office (202)727-3700
