Police said he then forced her into an alley behind an apartment building in the 1300 block of West 91st Street, where he sexually assaulted her.
Police described the assailant as a Black male who appears to be 13 to 14 years old, with black hair or dreadlocks with orange tips, brown eyes, and a medium-brown complexion. He is approximately 5-foot-3 to 5-foot-4 and was wearing a black jacket or long-sleeved shirt with white writing and gray pants or sweatpants. Police said he was carrying a clear school bookbag.
