Prince William County Police are asking the public to come forward with any information they might have on the incident.
Prince William County Police are on the lookout for a man who reportedly sexually assaulted and abducted a teenage girl at gunpoint.
Police responded at 10 p.m. Thursday to the incident in Triangle. Three females from the Dumfries area—21, 17 and 15 years old—said that they were walking on Fuller Heights Road near the intersection of Mockingbird Heights Road when a lone gunman stopped them. He tried to rob them, then grabbed the 15-year-old away from the others and assaulted her, according to police reports. He fled on foot when he saw the lights from police cars responding to the call for help, police said.
The suspect was described as about 18-25 years old, a black male, light to medium complexion, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 tall. He was wearing a large, dark hooded sweatshirt, dark faded baggy jeans, and carrying what appeared to be a black and silver handgun. He was also wearing a bandana or ski mask which covered part of his face.
