The sketch released today was produced by Angie Blevins, an artist whose work helped police in their investigation of a 2010 home invasion.

An 18-year-old Biddeford woman reported the attack Tuesday morning. She said she was walking on Main Street, near the intersection of Fairfield Street, when an unknown man got out of a red boxy vehicle and assaulted her, police said.

The man was described as white, bald, in his 20s or 30s, stocky and about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a T-shift with a plaid design. The vehicle was last seen turning onto King Street.

Police said today that they are unable to identify the suspect despite several interviews, a canvass of the neighborhood and a review of video.

Anyone with information about the assault is asked to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 282-8216.
