Investigators on Friday released a sketch of a suspect who they say is wanted in connection with the assault of a woman along the Riverwalk in Waltham. Troopers and local officers responding to a report of an assault on the Riverwalk along the Charles River between Newton Street and Farewell Street near Shaw’s Supermarket around 8 p.m. on Sunday learned a woman in her 20s had been grabbed from behind by someone who tried to put his hand over her mouth, according to Massachusetts State Police. Because the victim heard footsteps approaching, she was able to scream and take evasive action, state police said.
Police continue to try to track down the suspect accused of assaulting a woman along the Waltham Riverwalk last weekend, as authorities on Friday released a police artist's sketch of the assailant.
