NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police is sending the public a reminder to always be on alert. Their Special Victims Division is investigating the second attempted rape case in the area in a week’s time.
Thursday, they released two surveillance pictures of the suspect in the latest case. The attack happened on 11th Avenue North near Charlotte Avenue, in the Capitol View area. Police say a 30-year-old woman was walking home around 1:45 a.m. Saturday when the man grabbed her from behind and knocked her to the ground.
Investigators say he tried to remove her clothing, but she screamed and fought back. A witness yelled from a parking garage across the street causing the suspect to quickly leave.
Detectives are still working to find another man who attacked a 25-year-old woman as she was running on the Cumberland River Greenway near 2nd avenue North on Sunday night.
If you recognize either of these men, call Crime Stoppers.
