Woman attacked in Rowland Heights

ROWLAND HEIGHTS — Deputies sought a man Saturday who attacked and apparently sexually assaulted a woman in the parking lot of a Rowland Heights apartment complex.
The crime took place about 4 a.m. in the 1900 block of Batson Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Perez said.
The woman called a friend to say she thought she was being followed just prior to the attack in the gated parking lot, the sergeant said.
She was approached by an attacker described only as a Latino man of about 5 feet 4 inches tall and 130 pounds, he said.
The woman was believed to have been assaulted both physically and sexually, Perez said. She was hospitalized in “guarded” condition.
A good Samaritan interrupted the crime and scared away the attacker, Perez said.
It was not clear if the woman had been raped Saturday pending the results of medical tests, officials said.
No further details were available.
