Chicago crime: Suspect sought in sex assaults on North Side, police say

CHICAGO - Police are looking for a suspect in connection with multiple sexual assaults that took place early Friday morning on the city’s North Side.

What we know:

Each incident was reported in the 2000 block of Lunt Avenue between 2:14 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the Rogers Park neighborhood, according to the Chicago Police Department.

In one of the incidents, the suspect pried open the basement window of a home, entered nearly naked, and attacked the victim in her bathroom. The victim was able to fight off the offender.

Around an hour before that incident, a mile north in nearby Evanston, an attempted criminal sexual assault was reported involving a suspect with a similar description to the incident in Chicago. The victim in that case was also able to fight off the offender.

Later, there was another report of an attempted burglary within a block radius of the home where the initial sexual assault was reported.

Police described the suspect as a Hispanic male between the ages of 19 and 25 with a thin build, medium-length curly hair, and standing between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-7.

He was wearing a black hoodie with "USMC" written on the back in gold lettering, a light-colored hoodie wrapped around his waist, and light-colored pants.
