Oakland police seek suspect in Fruitvale attempted sexual assault

Oakland police said Friday that they are asking for the public's help in finding a man who allegedly attempted to sexually assault a woman on a busy street in the city's Fruitvale District in the middle of the day on Thursday.

Police said that at about 11:15 a.m. on Thursday a 36-year-old woman who was walking in the 2000 block of 35th Avenue was approached by a stranger and physically forced to the ground.

The suspect then attempted to sexually assault the woman but she was able to pull away and run from the suspect, police said.

They described the suspect as a black man who is about 35-years-old and is 5-foot-6 with a medium build and clean-shaven. The man was wearing a black hooded jacket and black sweatpants.

Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

Anyone with information about the case may call the Oakland Police Department's youth and family service division at (510) 238-3641 or a tip line at (510) 637-0298.

Oakland police said they want to warn people to always be aware of their surroundings, not be distracted by cellphones and electronic devices and stay in well-lit and populated areas.

They added that people should be especially alert when they enter and exit their vehicles.

Bicyclist struck by car along Panhandle Thursday night

 A bicyclist was struck by a car along San Francisco's Panhandle on Thursday night, police and fire officials said today.

The accident was reported at 9:40 p.m. at the intersection of Fell and Lyon streets, fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.

The 25-year-old man riding the bicycle was struck and hit the hood and windshield of the car, said police Capt. John Feeney from the department's Park Station.

The bicyclist was wearing a helmet and was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries that are not considered life-threatening, Feeney said.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the bicyclist stopped at the scene and called 911, he said.

Police are investigating whether the driver or bicyclist had the right-of-way at the intersection. The driver was not cited, Feeney said.

Feeney, who just took over last week as the captain overseeing the Park District Station, said the accident served as a reminder for drivers and bicyclists to both be vigilant on the roads.

"With the increase in bicycling in the city, especially in the Panhandle area, we want to reiterate that drivers and bike riders respect each other," he said.

Crews clear rocks, reopen busy Yosemite highway

A busy highway in Yosemite National Park is set to reopen, just a week after house-size boulders crashed down on it during last week's storm.

Park officials say the Big Oak Flat Road portion of Highway 120 will be cleared by 8 a.m. Saturday.

The park's roads and trails crew have been working to clear the busy highway used by visitors driving in from Northern California. The road will have a gravel surface for weekend traffic, and visitors are urged to drive slowly through the area.

During next week, the crew plans to close the road again to repave the damaged area.
