Police are asking for the public’s help as they investigate a sexual assault in Armstrong County.

The Kiski Township Police Department said the incident happened at the intersection of 13th Street and Cochran Avenue in North Apollo Borough at 5 p.m. on Thursday.

A woman who was walking home from the Shop’N Save said a blue Honda Pilot with dark tinted windows approached her. One of at least two men who were inside the vehicle got out and sexually assaulted her before leaving the area.

Police said the vehicle had noticeable dirt on the front right passenger side.

The suspect is described as a male who was around 5 feet, 6 inches tall. He had a husky build and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and face covering.

Police are asking anyone in the area to check their security, doorbell or dashcam cameras to see if they captured video of a vehicle that matches or is similar to the description provided between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

“Even a brief video showing the vehicle traveling through the area could provide valuable information to investigators,” a spokesperson for the department said.

Similarly, police are also looking for witnesses to the crime.

Anyone with information or video that could be helpful to the investigation is asked to contact police directly at (724) 478-3357.
