Madison police are investigating a Saturday afternoon break-in and sexual assault of a Milwaukee woman on Lathrop Street, according to Madison Police Department Lt. Amy Schwartz.
The 20-year-old woman told police she was sleeping on a friend’s couch before she woke up at approximately 2:30 p.m. to an unfamiliar man on top of her touching her on the outside of her pants, according to an incident report from MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The suspect, described as a 20-year-old Hispanic man with a medium build, most likely entered the residence on the 100 block of Lathrop Street through an unlocked door, according to Lt. Schwartz. The man fled after waking the victim, according to the report.
Madison police brought a police dog to the scene to assist with the investigation but could not locate the suspect, according to DeSpain’s report.
The suspect was last seen wearing a red T-shirt and khaki pants or shorts.
