The 17-year-old victim was getting into her car parked in the Franklin Avenue parking lot across from Harris Road in Princeton when a man approached her from behind around 9:20 a.m. on Thursday, June 2, Princeton Police said.
The man grabbed her left leg in an apparent attempt to grab her buttocks before running south through the parking lot toward Princeton Cemetery, police said.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, possibly in his mid-30s. He was about 5 feet 5 inches tall with a medium build and was wearing a white baseball hat with a gray short sleeved shirt and a blue surgical mask, authorities said.
It was not clear whether the incident is related to other criminal sexual contact incidents that have recently occurred in the area.
Anyone with information about the incident or the suspect is asked to contact Det. Eric Dawson at (609) 921-2100 ext. 1832.
