Investigators have released a composite sketch of a wanted suspect who is accused of attempting to sexually assault a woman on Tuesday morning as she was walking along a trail at Nokesville Community Park.

Another park-goer found the victim and helped her contact the police, who searched the area with a K-9 Unit, though the suspect was ultimately not located. 

Officers and a police K-9 unit searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.

Investigators say that the suspect is beleived to be a White or light-skinned man who was around 5-foot-9 with an average build, brown eyes, and dark, bushy eyebrows. 

He was last seen wearing all dark-colored clothing including a long-sleeve shirt made from dry-wicking material, sweatpants, and a ski-style mask only exposing his eyes.
