Half Moon Bay Police have released a profile sketch of a man who allegedly assaulted a 23-year-old woman on the Coastal Trail last week.

The victim was riding her bicycle across a bridge around 8 p.m. on June 22, just north of Francis State Beach in Half Moon Bay, where she encountered the suspect riding a mountain bike. The man reportedly used his bike to block the bridge, preventing the victim from passing. The suspect then grabbed the woman, pulling her off her bicycle.

The woman began yelling, and the man quickly fled.


Police describe the suspect as a Caucasian male aged 40 to 50 years old, about 5’8” in height with thin dark brown hair, a rounded nose and a pale complexion. He was wearing a black T-shirt and khaki shorts.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police at 726-8828.
