KDPS seeks help identifying assault suspect

At 10:55 p.m. on October 12, 2019, officers responded to a report of an assault in the area of E Michigan Ave / Farmers Alley. The victim told the responding officers that she was walking on E Michigan when she was assaulted by an unknown male.  A passerby witnessed the assault and intervened. The suspect stopped his attack and fled on foot.  He was not located. A second witness told officers that he had observed the suspect following the victim immediately prior to the attack.

Nearby surveillance cameras captured the below images of the suspect. KDPS asks that anyone who recognizes the person in these images please contact Kalamazoo Central Dispatch at (269) 488-8911, or Silent Observer at (269) 343-2100

By authority of:  Sgt. Charles Mason
