Police are looking for a male suspect in an assault Friday at the Karst Farm Greenway Trail near Grandview Elementary School, according to a Monroe County Sheriff’s news release.

The suspect is white and skinny, in his mid to late 20s, with dark curly hair styled in a mullet, according to the news release. At the time of the assault, he wore a black t-shirt and black shorts.

The victim told police the male suspect passed her several times on the trail. Then as she rounded a corner and walked past him, he grabbed and pulled her shirt over her head. She screamed and the suspect fled, and she called the police.

Police searched the area for over an hour and were unable to locate the suspect.

The Monroe County Community School Corporation was notified and Grandview Elementary increased its outdoor monitoring around the school and nearby trail.

Those who have information, including photos or videos that could aid with the investigation, should contact Detective Sergeant Nathan Peach at npeach@co.monroe.in.us.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
