Woman assaulted near "Kilroy's" bar in Bloomington

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Bloomington Police are investigating after a woman was allegedly attacked while walking home from a Bloomington bar.

According to a press release, the 21-year-old was walking home from Kilroy's bar on Sept. 3, 2012, shortly before 2 a.m., when the attack took place.

When she reached the corner of 7th St. and Grant St., police say a man asked her for directions, and when she ignored him, he stepped in front of her. Police say he then pulled her hair and tried to force her to the ground.

As he was trying to pull down her clothes, she sprayed his eyes with pepper spray, police say.

She then ran away and found a couple walking in the area, who helped her call the police.

Police say the suspect is described as a white man in his 40s, wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. He was described as having short, brown hair and a "rough complexion," according to the victim.

The woman suffered a cut to the neck and a welt on her forehead, but she cannot recall any weapon being involved in the assault.
