Suspect in Mulholland Drive trail sexual assault remains at large: LAPD
The search intensifies for a sexual predator who assaulted a woman on a hiking trail in November.
The attack happened on November 21 on the Canyonback Trail on the 17000 block of Mulholland Drive in the Brentwood area.
Police say a suspect approached a woman who was hiking on the trail and forced her into a secluded area, then assaulted her.
Hikers in the area are shocked a crime like this could happen.
"It was kind of unbelievable because it's so beautiful here and so quiet," said Johnny Zamora, a hiker who has been coming to the trails in the area for at least 15 years.
Los Angeles Police described the suspect as a man, 30 years old, with a 2-inch scar on his right forearm.
Police are seeking any information from the public. Anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD.
Police also remind people not to hike alone. Always carry your cell phone and be aware of your surroundings.
