Vancouver, Wash. – On October 26, 2025, at around 7:28 a.m., Vancouver Police responded to the report of an assault on a woman who was jogging in the 1100 block of SE 99th Avenue. At around 7:16 a.m. the woman told police that a male riding a bike approached her from behind, grabbed her genital area and pushed her to the ground, causing her to hit her head. The two struggled on the ground and the woman was eventually able to fight off male who rode away on his bike. The victim suffered a bump on her head but no other serious physical injuries. The attack appears random.
A nearby video camera was located showing an image of the suspect who is described as a younger white male, late teens/early 20’s, 5’ 7”, wearing black jeans and a grey hoodie, riding a bike.
Anyone with information who can identify this individual is asked to call Vancouver Police.
