SHELTON -- Police are hoping someone will recognize a police sketch of a man believed to have abducted a woman last month in Derby and took her to Shelton, where he sexually assaulted her.
The man apparently spotted the 23-year-old woman walking on Seymour Avenue in Derby about 2:30 a.m. June 20, Det. Ben Trabka said. He pulled over and began talking to her, Trabka said, and then pulled her into his car.
The man then took the woman to downtown Shelton where he pulled over on a side road and sexually assaulted her, he said. Afterwards he drove her back to Derby and let her go, Trabka said.
Det. Michael Fusco compiled a sketch of the person believed to be responsible for the attack. The suspect is between 30 and 40 years old, Trabka said, and a light skinned black or Hispanic man with acne or pock marks on his face. He didn't show any weapon during the attack, Trabka said.
Anyone with any information can contact police at 924-1544.
