Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a suspect who attacked and attempted to kidnap a woman who was jogging along Gosling Road this morning.

Just before 6 a.m. Thursday, the sheriff's office dispatch received a 911 call from a female jogger, who advised that she had just been attacked while jogging along Gosling Road, according to a release from the sheriff's office.

South County Patrol units responded to the area and located the victim. The victim stated that she was jogging southbound on Gosling along the northbound lanes, when a white male stepped out from the bike trail and grabbed her by the right arm. The woman stated that the man attempted to pull her back into the woods by her arm and threatened that he had a knife.

The woman grabbed a nearby tree at which time the suspect fell backwards. The suspect grabbed the victim’s hair and pulled her hat off as he fell backwards. The victim was able to run away and call for help.

The suspect is described as a white male in his early 20s, between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-10, weighing approximately 200 pounds with short brown hair.

The suspect was wearing white shorts and a black tank top and fled running south along Gosling Road.
