LOS ANGELES -- Authorities are searching for a 21-year-old man who allegedly sexually assaulted a 67-year-old woman in East Los Angeles over the weekend, one in what they say is a string of attacks.
Sergio Andrew Garcia approached the victim from behind, pulled her hair and threw her to the ground on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Garcia repeatedly punched the woman in the face, according to a news release.
Garcia was startled when a neighbor began to yell at him but continued to punch the woman two more times before he rode away on a bicycle, authorities said. He is described as being 5-foot-5 and 180 pounds.
