PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -
A woman exercising at Rocky Butte in Portland was assaulted by a knife-wielding man Thursday afternoon.
Officers said the victim was assaulted but was able to fight off the attacker and get away in her car. She drove to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and then released.
Police brought in a K-9 unit to help find the attacker, but they weren't able to find him.
The attacker was described as a white man in his 40s, 5'10'' tall and about 250 pounds. Police said the man had a muscular build, a fat stomach, brown greasy and scraggly hair, a long brown beard and a bigger nose with a crooked tip.
The attacker was last seen wearing an oversized gray T-shirt and black sweat pants.
Detectives said they're working on coming up with a sketch of the suspect and will release it as soon as it's available.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Portland police.
