A 19-year-old woman told police she was indecently assaulted by a man while she was waiting for a bus on Washington Lane near Stenton Avenue about 9:50 p.m. on Sept. 14. The victim said the attacker, a stocky, 5-foot-4 black man, grabbed her by the throat and forced her over the hood of his copper-colored, 4-door SUV.

The creep assaulted the woman while he tried to pull off her clothes, police said. The victim told investigators the attacker was clean shaven and had a tattoo of the letter "A" on the left side of his neck. His SUV had tinted windows, police said. Tipsters can call the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251.
