According to police, when the teen reached 34th Avenue South and South Oregon Street, an unknown man approached her from behind and grabbed her around the neck and both arms.

The teen kicked the man in the groin, and she escaped and ran home. Police said the teen told police, the man didn't speak during the attack. When officers and a K9 unit arrived in the area, they did a search for the attacker but could not find him.
