Detectives have arrested the man who they said assaulted a woman while she was out on her morning walk last week in Pinecrest.

On Sunday, Pinecrest Police announced that their detectives had apprehended Michael Angelo Figueroa-Hernandez at a hospital in Palm Beach County.

"With the assistance of the Atlantis Police Department, our detectives successfully took him into custody, leading to his arrest and subsequent transport to the Palm Beach County Jail," said Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen. "I want to express our gratitude to our partners at the Atlantis Police Department for their assistance."

"We do not believe there are any more victims out there. We believe this was an isolated case, but if any of your viewers had any interactions with him and he did something, please call us." 

He said the number to call for Pinecrest Police is (305) 234-2100. 

Though Figueroa-Hernandez was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on an out-of-county warrant for his arrest, it is unclear what other charges he may face.

The attack

The assault happened around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday when a woman was out on her morning walk near 13000 SW 69th Ct. in Southwest Miami-Dade.

According to Pinecrest Police, Figueroa-Hernandez was riding a bicycle when he came up behind the woman, grabbed her in a "bear hug" and touched her inappropriately before she fought him off, and he ran away from the scene. The woman was not hurt during the attack.

Police said Figueroa-Hernandez had abandoned his bike about 10 minutes after the attack before fleeing from the area.

Through public assistance and investigative efforts by their detectives, Pinecrest Police was able to identify Figueroa-Hernandez and issued a wanted poster to raise awareness and help with their search.
