WASHINGTON — Police are looking for the man who raped and assaulted a woman in a Columbia, Maryland apartment on Wednesday, Jan. 21.
A man the victim didn’t know approached her at Columbia Landing Apartments on the 8900 block of Tamar Drive, attempted to start a conversation, then pulled her into a vacant apartment where he raped and assaulted her.
After, the woman ran from the building to find help.
Police think the man may have been staying at the empty apartment. He’s described as black with a medium complexion, 2 to 3 inch dreadlocks, medium build and in his 30s. He wore black sweatpants and no shirt.
While the woman doesn’t live in the complex, she believes she saw the same man last week.
Anyone who thinks they’ve seen the man is asked to call police at 410-313-STOP or turn in private surveillance video if they have it. There is a reward of up to $1,000.
