Pasadena police Thursday sought the public’s help to find a man who tried to sexually assault a female employee of a health spa at gunpoint.
The man entered the business in the 2000 block of East Colorado Boulevard on Sunday “and requested a massage from an employee,” the Pasadena Police Department reported.
“Just prior to receiving his massage, the male suddenly initiated an assault on the female employee, which included brandishing a firearm,” police said in a statement. “During the lengthy assault, the suspect attempted to sexually assault the employee.”
The man fled on a bicycle. Police circulated security images of the man, described as Hispanic, 40-50 years old and bald. He was wearing blue-tinted sunglasses, a black sweatshirt, ripped blue jeans and white shoes.
“This suspect should be considered armed and dangerous,” police said..
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call police at 626- 744-4241, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. Tipsters may also use the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.
