Police seek help in finding man in sex assault

Sketch of the suspect

Toledo police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted and punched a woman Tuesday after he took her to a house in North Toledo.

The man was described as black, in his 20s to early 30s, 5-feet, 7-inches tall; thin; with a shaved head, no facial hair; green or hazel eyes, and long eyelashes. He was wearing a black and silver nylon sleeveless shirt, and dark blue or black nylon gym shorts.

The man had a tattoo on both sides of his chest and two tattoos on his arms that read, "4 DIE" with a scroll underneath it listing three or four names. He smoked Newport cigarettes and referred to himself as "Michael."

Police said the woman, 29, got into the man's car about 6:10 p.m. at Michigan and Lagrange streets, and he took her to 922 East Central Ave.

Once there, he became violent and sexually assaulted her.

He choked her and punched her on the face, police said.

The man went out the back door and fled in his car, which police said was small and dark blue or gray, possibly a two-door, with Ohio plates, and a purple and yellow tassel with '06 attached to it.
