CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

A 16-year-old girl was attacked by a man with a knife on a Charlotte greenway Thursday, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Investigators said that around noon, the girl reported that while she was walking along a trail at the McMullen Creek Greenway, a man grabbed her from behind and forced her into a wooded area while threatening her with a knife.

The girl said she was able to fight off her attacker and he ran away. CMPD is not identifying the girl.

The suspect was described as a black or Hispanic male, approximately 25 years old, 6’0” and 190 lbs. He was last seen wearing a light blue t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts/pants

I read somewhere that many Mexican cartel members moving in this direction.  Might be related.

Not quite Ballantyne there.

Why would a cartel bring unneeded attention to itself?

I think cartels don't give a crap about attention.

I think cartels don't give a crap about attention.

In Texas maybe where they can jump across the border but NC is a little far from the border.

Haha I thought the same thing.  Especially since it was the middle of the day.  Couldn't you tell? 

[PandaPancake]

Or maybe it happened so fast she was more concerned about getting away?

This has occurred three times in metro Atlanta in the last month - women being assaulted (beaten, not raped) or nearly assaulted while walking or running on various trails/paths.

 

Here's the first one. The attack was horrific. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/woman-attacked-seriously-injured-on-silver-comet-t/ngqzL/

 

Two other attempted assaults have occurred in recent weeks in other parts of the region. Attackers here have all been described as white to my knowledge.

Cartel related? LOL. More like rape related.

They said the cartels would move in here after we legalized it.
