Authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect using surveillance footage.
According to reports, the woman's 25-year-old cousin heard her scream and rushed to her rescue. Her cousin was able to pull the individual off of her, but the suspect was able to free himself. He began running west through the park and was last seen walking on Bruckner Boulevard, a street near the park, police said.
The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network estimates that an American is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. It also estimates that over 55 percent of sexual assaults occur at or near the victim's home, and about 15 percent occur in public open spaces.
