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.

Bakersfield police have confirmed that there have been two other incidents similar to this one and that two of the three appear to be related. They have not released any further information about the other attacks due to their ongoing investigation.
