WASHINGTON — Police in Arlington are looking for the public’s help in finding a man they say entered a woman’s apartment and sexually assaulted her early Sunday.
The Arlington County police said in a statement that a man unlawfully entered the woman’s apartment in the 3900 block of 4th Street North and used the threat of a weapon to hold the woman while he sexually assaulted her.
