No arrests had yet been made, and the attacker remained on the run as of Tuesday night, according to police.
“She didn’t see anyone come from behind. It was very fast. He didn’t try to steal anything, nothing,” the victim’s father said in Spanish, adding that his daughter was simply heading to work at the time.
“She doesn’t want to go back there. She is afraid,” he said.
