Authorities: Woman sexually assaulted while walking on Morristown hiking trial
Authorities are looking for two men accused of a sexual assault in Morristown.
Officials say that the victim was walking on the Traction Line Recreation Trail Tuesday afternoon when two Hispanic men approached her and asked for money.
When the woman refused to give the men money, police say one of the men pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. The other man stood by. Both men then ran away from the area.
One suspect is described as a Hispanic man with black hair who is approximately 20 years old. He was last seen wearing a white Polo shirt and blue jeans. The second suspect is described as a Hispanic man, also around 20 years old. He was last seen wearing a black hat, black hood with white lettering on the back and black pants. One of the men was seen riding a bicycle.
Anyone who may have information about the incident is asked to call the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office at 973-285-6200, or the Morristown Police Department at 973-538-2200.
