Police seek sexual assault suspect

Police are looking for a dark-haired man believed to be about 40 years old who they say sexually assaulted a Blue Ice store employee in the Burbank Town Center Mall Tuesday.

The suspect allegedly asked a 24-year-old employee of the women’s clothing store to try on a dress and model it for him, Burbank Sgt. Travis Irving said.

As she modeled the piece of clothing, the suspect allegedly pulled the strap on the dress in an apparent attempt to see her breasts, he said.

As she held up the garment, the suspect knelt down, supposedly trying to steal a glance under her dress. He then promptly left the store, Irving said.

Police continue to look for the suspect, he said.
