Second Sex Assault Reported at Metro Parking Garage

Montgomery County Police believe the same man is responsible for two sexual assaults at the Wheaton Metro parking garage.

The most recent incident happened at 11 p.m. Wednesday. The 37-year-old victim told police she was walking on the garage's second level when an armed man approached and demanded that she perform a sex act near the pedestrian bridge.

Investigators say the sex act was interrupted when the suspect heard someone coming up the stairs.

Two days earlier, a 33-year-old woman was opening her car's door on the same level of the garage when she was also approached by a man holding a gun. The suspect demanded that she follow him to an area near the pedestrian bridge and perform a sex act.

Police said the woman was able to get into her car, lock it and drive out of the garage without being injured. The suspect ran away.

Detectives are working with both victims to create a composite of the suspect.
