Attempted Sexual Assault in Greenwood Heights

The Concerned Citizens of Greenwood Hts newsgroup is buzzing with messages about how there was an attempted sexual assault in the neighborhood on Saturday at 4 a.m. in which “a young woman, who had just left a group of friends, was entering her building, in/around 7th ave and 20th St., when she was grabbed from behind. The attacker attempted to force his way into the building, but she was able to fight him off. He escaped up 8th Ave. She was not harmed.” Some on the email list are calling for a community meeting to address an uptick in violent crimes in the neighborhood. Earlier this month there were reports of increased assaults in the area.
