Authorities are warning about a sexual predator who attacked a teenage girl as she was walking to school on the South Coast. The 16 year old girl was on the 400 block of Canterbury Way in Oxnard Tuesday morning when she was assaulted.

Police say a man ran up behind her, grabbed her, and then fled the area. The man is described as a Hispanic male in his mid-20’s. He stands about five foot seven, weighs 160 pounds, with brown hair and a short goatee. He was wearing a white t-shirt, and blue and white checkered pajama pants.

The teen was shaken up, but not seriously injured.
