Denton police are asking for help in finding a man who attacked a woman in a wooded area near Olympia and Wolftrap streets in northern Denton.

This artist's rendering depicts a man police are looking for in connection with a June 19 attack.

Shortly after 8 p.m. June 19, the victim was walking on a paved city trail through the wooded area. A man tackled her from behind and they struggled as she tried to get away from him. She finally was able to kick him in the groin while lying on the ground, and the man tumbled off her and ran, police said.

She described the suspect as an American Indian man between the ages of 18 and 25. She said he was about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighed between 160 and 180 pounds. He had dark hair, parted in the middle, that reached his ears.

The suspect was wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt with white writing, according to the woman. Contact police at 940-349-7984.
