Forced fondling incident reported

The IU Police Department is investigating a claim that a 37-year-old woman was fondled inappropriately by an unknown man Monday afternoon near Bryan Woods, Lt. Jerry Minger said, reading from the police report. \nAccording to the report, the victim said the man came up from behind her in the south, when he touched her inappropriately and kept on running. The victim then screamed and the man turned around before walking slowly away, the report read. \nMinger said the victim described the man as having tan or dark skin and could have been a "light-skinned African American or Arabic man or a dark-skinned Caucasian." She added the man appeared to be in his 20s, was 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed about 200 pounds with a "stalky build" and had his hair shaved. She said he was wearing a royal blue tank top and yellowish-gold running pants. \nMinger said four IUPD officers responded to the scene of the incident about five minutes after she said it occurred. The officers were unable to locate the described man. Extra IUPD patrols were sent to the Bryan Woods area Tuesday to locate the subject in case he regularly goes through the area, but Minger said they did not find anyone matching the description. \nMinger asked anyone who's familiar with the subject or who may have witnessed similar incidents to please call 855-4111 to speak with an officer or detective.
