Madison police investigate sexual assault on Fahrenbrook Court

A 21-year-old woman was sexually assaulted early Wednesday morning on Fahrenbrook Court, according to a Madison Police Department statement. 

The victim, a student at an undisclosed school, told police she had been out with friends when she noticed a stranger following her on South Park Street late Tuesday night. At approximately 2:40 a.m. the suspect grabbed her from behind in a parking lot on Fahrenbrook Court and later left the scene down North Mills Street.

Two MPD detectives are investigating the case, according to MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain. Police believe the suspect to be a 6-foot-tall black male with short hair and stubble, last seen wearing a light t-shirt and shorts. Police urge anyone with information to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.
