Attempted Abduction | Impersonating a Police Officer – On May 17 at 7:44AM, officers responded to the 8000 block of Sudley Rd in Manassas (20109) to investigate a suspicious person. A 43-year-old homeless woman reported to police that an unknown Hispanic male entered her tent area and identified himself as a police officer. The suspect was wearing dark clothing, had some type of portable radio with an orange earpiece attached, and a pair of handcuffs. During the encounter, the suspect grabbed the victim and attempted to handcuff her. The victim resisted and asked to see the suspect’s credentials, which he refused. A struggle ensued and the suspect eventually fled the area on a bicycle when the victim yelled for help. Further investigation revealed that same suspect allegedly went to another homeless camp in the area and identified himself as a police officer to two other men. Officers checked the surrounding area for the suspect who was not located. No injuries were reported. The investigation continues.
