Cops Identify Sexual Assault as Motive in Parking Lot Attack

(BOISE, Idaho) -- Boise Police believe sexual assault was the motive behind an attack on a woman at a local store parking lot earlier this month.

The incident happened on the night of May 14 as a woman was about to get into her car. Police said a male suspect forced his way inside the woman's car and began sexually assaulting her. The victim then began to cry out for help, and another female who heard the cries, came over to see what was going on and broke up the attack.

Police say the suspect then got into a pickup truck and as he was leaving, he intentionally swerved to hit the bystander who had foiled the attack, resulting in that woman sustaining serious injuries to her leg and hip.

Officers continue to search for the suspect.
