Friday 10:33 p.m. – According to Narragansett Police, a 20-year-old woman told them that she fought off an attacker holding a gun shortly after 4 p.m. while jogging on Ocean Road near the Point Judith Country Club.

The man was described as in his 30s, Hispanic or a tanned Caucasian, with a buzz cut and a closely-trimmed “helmet strap” beard. The woman told police he was driving a small, teal blue pickup truck with Connecticut plates, with a lawnmower in the bed.

According to the woman, while she was jogging the man grabbed her from behind. While holding a dark-colored firearm, he told her to get into the truck.

The woman told police she fought off the attacker, and the man then left in his truck, heading south on Ocean Road toward Scarborough Beach. The woman told police she saw a lawnmower in the tailgate of the truck.

Police said an investigation was still ongoing. They are currently working on a composite photo to be released later tonight.
