HAMDEN–Police are trying to find the person responsible for sexually assaulting and robbing a woman on Monday afternoon.

The suspect, who ran off, is described as a black man in his 30s, about 5-foot-10 with a muscular build. He was wearing a white t-shirt, shorts and weightlifting gloves.
A K-9 tried to track the suspect but was unsuccessful.
