The Bakersfield Police Department said the suspect in that incident was described as a black male in his twenties, 5'10", 220 pounds and wearing a black button up and red shorts, forced the victim to the ground and violently assaulted her. The other suspect, described only as a black male, exited the Mercedes and removed items from the victim's vehicle.
