Sexual assault in Franconia: Police

Fairfax County detectives are investigating the sexual assault of a woman who was standing at a bus stop at La Vista Drive and Franconia Road around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, police said.

While she waited for a bus, the 23-year-old woman told police, a heavy-set man between 25 and 40 years old wearing a t-shirt and tan cargo pants approached her from behind, grabbed and assaulted her.

The victim was transported to INOVA Fairfax Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
