ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — A day after releasing details about two new crimes on the High Line Canal Trail in Arapahoe County police released a composite sketch of a suspect. 

Police cooperated with the victims of two separate indecent exposure attacks, presumably carried out by the same person over the weekend, to create the sketch.

Victims described the man as a medium-height white man in his late teens or early 20s. He was described as thin. 

One victim spoke out to Denver7, saying she had to employ a can of pepper spray to chase him away after he attempted to attack her. 

The victim said she felt the mental strains of the attack afterwards, comparing the attack to another recent attack on the High Line Canal Trail near E. Iliff Avenue. 

In the earliest attack, on March 27, a high school-aged runner said a man tackled her from behind, but eventually retreated due to her struggle.
