Police: Attempted Rapist Cuts Woman’s Hair

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Gwinnett police are looking for a man accused of trying to rape a woman and cutting her hair.

The victim left her home at about 1 p.m. Dec. 13 to walk her dog, Gwinnett police Cpl. Jake Smith said. She said during the walk, an unknown man snuck up on her and held a knife to her ribs, Smith said.

When officers arrived, the man had fled the scene, Smith said. Police have released a sketch of the man. Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwinnett police at 770-513-5000.
