Elderly woman attacked in home

Police are looking for a man who broke into an elderly woman’s

home and attacked her late Tuesday night.

At about 11:30 p.m. a woman in her 70s dialed 911 after hearing noises inside her home on Cambay Lane. As she was on the phone a man

grabbed her from behind, police said. The two struggled before the

intruder fled, said Huntington Beach Police Department Sgt. Gary

Meza.

The woman dialed 911 again after her attacker left. Police dogs

managed to pick up a sent, but lost it, Meza said.

The woman was not seriously injured during the attack, but left

with some bruises. She was treated by paramedics and released. She

could only describe her attacker as having a dark complexion.

Police believe this attack may be connected with the Long Beach,

Belmont Shore rapist. Anyone with information about this attack is

asked to call the Huntington Beach Police Detective Bureau at (714)

375-5066.
