Once inside the suspect then knelt over the victim in bed and attempted to cover her mouth. The victim fought off the attacker and screamed for help. The suspect then fled on foot into the neighborhood. A police search failed to locate the suspect. Leads are being sought and anyone with information on this incident or any similar occurrence is encouraged to call the Menlo Park Police at 330-6300. The Investigating Officer is Jeff Keegan.
