Boulder police are looking for a man suspected of grabbing a 22-year-old woman as she walked down a bike path.
Around 7:31 p.m. Saturday, the woman was walking in the 300 block of Canyon Boulevard when the suspect allegedly grabbed her around the neck, waist and thighs, according to a news release from the Boulder Police Department.
The woman fought back and may have kicked the man in the groin area. He quickly let go and the woman fled. She had several scratches but no additional injuries.

He was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt, blue jeans and carrying a backpack. He also appeared dirty and smelled bad.
