Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly beat a 20-year-old Madison woman in the downtown area Saturday night, according to a report from the Madison Police Department.
The woman was walking home, on the 200 block of North Pinckney Street at approximately 11:25 p.m., when the suspect pushed her to the ground from behind and punched her in the face, MPD Lt. Amy Schwartz said in the report.
The suspect grabbed and emptied the victim’s shoulder bag, but found nothing in it of value to steal, Schwartz said. He kicked her before fleeing the scene.
According to the report, the suspect is a 5-foot-6-inch black male, who was wearing black clothing, white tennis shoes and a do-rag during the attack.
The victim sustained a facial injury in the attack, but did not seek medical attention.
