On Wednesday, the next night at 11:30 p.m, a 17-year-old female Asian was walking in the park after going for a jog when she was approached by a male black with a knife. He placed the knife to her neck according to police and forced her into a wooded area where the attacker demands oral sex.

After the sexual assault he fled the park.
Police found a condom wrapper at the scene which is being tested for DNA.
