Philadelphia police are looking for a man they say broke in the womans home as she slept and sexually assaulted. Standing over her bed when she wake up. Police say this attack has something in common with era salt earlier this is back, in march steve. Reporter yes, that is when it was real cold out that last frozen break when we had temperatures around zero. So this guy operates in the coldest day of the year and here we are yesterday in like the hottest day of the year around 90, and that is why police here at headquarters are warning everybody not just south philadelphia single woman, living alone but to be extra cautious in this weather. This is kind of stuff where you will put up windows put down the screens especially on the first floor and maybe leave the the screen door opened. That is a big no, no especially in the point breeze neighborhood where these two attacks have now happened in the last two months. Right along mifflin street the the main drag through there yesterday morning around 5 00 a. M. Before sunrise here at 18th and rosewood. That is a small one way south philadelphia street. You can see it is neatly kept row homes. Thirtyfive yearold woman is asleep around 5 00 oclock when shes woken up by this guy in her bedroom standing own over her. Puts his hand over her mouth. Threatened to come back and kill her if she calls police. He took her cash, car, keys, even her roommates identification. Police do not even know right now how he got in. Im really concerned for a lot of the elders around here but this happened to a 35 yearold woman. Im just so upset. Terrible. I wouldnt want to it happen to me or anybody, you know what i mean. I feel very sorry for her. It is a shame somebody else wasnt in there with her. Maybe they could have helped her. This poor girl is 35 years old. God only knows if she wants to come back to this house and live there. Reporter well this sketch comes from the description given by the first woman attack, in march who faced the same kind of guy, in the same neighborhood, and same things worn in both. A ski mask, wool hat and red gloves. That is the the kind of thing that stands out. In march wearing gloves, wool hat and a ski mask doesnt stand out but it does when it is 90 degrees. Even overnight it doesnt cool off much. This guy made a mistake of taking her car and not taking tight far. Police say he number one lives in the neighborhood and number two when he parked that car and drove that car through the neighborhood a whole slew of surveillance camera. They are going through the cameras that they know of so far looking at all of the video from those hours between the attack and 5 30 in the morning when he left, and whenever he parked that car and he may have left dna and fingerprints in the car. That is a real good lead right now. They are hoping if anybody has surveillance and they think that they saw something unusual, call them right away. Also, they may think that there is other woman out there because if this guy is threatening to kill these women, if they call police, maybe he did this again and some woman may be too scared to have called police and police want to hear from anybody. Even if there was an attempt out there and nothing happened, call them if you know anything. Got it. Thanks steve. 6 37.
