Wilmington Attacks
Police are still looking for a man that is believed to have attacked two women in Wilmington Saturday morning.
Police say at around four in the morning a 20-year-old woman stopped at a Citgo station on South College Road.
The victim, Roxanne, told News Channel 3 that a man got into her car and forced her to drive to a closed gas station down the road on the intersection of Pine Grove and Greenville Loop Roads. That’s when she says he beat her and tried to rape her.
Roxanne says she was able to run away but says the man stole her car and her boyfriend’s police uniform inside it.
Roxanne said, “he’s got a police uniform now and he doesn’t look scary. He doesn’t look like someone who’s going to come up to you and hurt you.”
Police say at 6 a.m. a 40-year-old woman was jogging near Holly Tree Road when a man tackled her and began punching her face.
This jogger was also able to run away.
Both victims describe the attacker as the man in the sketch from another brutal attack that happened a few weeks ago near 3rd and Market Streets.
Police say Roxanne’s stolen car was found in Onslow County.
Roxanne describes the attacker as a man in his young 20’s with dark skin, shaved dark hair on the sides and short on the top. She says he was wearing a white shirt with blue pin stripes, a white t-shirt underneath and dark blue jeans.
