Cops Hunt Man in Black After Random Attack on Woman in New Jersey

The woman managed to fight off her attacker, but police say he is still at large

A man dressed completely in black sneaked up behind a woman, grabbed her and tried to sexually attack her as she walked home in Hoboken over the weekend, authorities say.

The woman managed to fight off the man after the attack on Second and Madison streets around 1 a.m. Sunday, authorities say. The stranger ran off and the woman called for help.

The victim did not suffer from any physical injury, police said.

Authorities are still looking for the suspect. They released surveillance photos, including the one above, of a man who fit the description and was near the scene at the time.
