Modus operandi of suspect in North Plainfield muggings is similar to robbery and attempted rape in Plainfield. (Composite sketch, Somerset County Prosecutor's Office) |
The assailant was a black male on a bicycle. After taking the victim's cellphone and her wedding ring, he attempted to sexually assault the victim near a tree but fled when spotted by a male passerby.
The modus operandi sounds like the recent series of bicycle-riding robberies in North Plainfield (see story here), though in those robberies two men worked as a team, one brandishing a gun and the other relieving the victims of their purses and other items.
Illustration above is a composite sketch released by the Somerset County Prosecutor's office in relation to the North Plainfield muggings.
Anyone with information should contact the Plainfield Police Division at (908) 753-3131.
