Pregnant Woman Attacked in Covina

A man attacked a pregnant woman Sunday in an unincorporated area of Covina, and sheriff's officials sought the public's help locating the suspect.

It happened about 8 a.m. near the intersection of Cienega Avenue and Treanor Avenue, Sgt. David Grall of the San Dimas sheriff's station said.

The victim was attacked from behind as she walked on Cienega Avenue, Grall said.

"The suspect knocked the victim to the ground and proceeded to kick the victim,'' Grall said. ``When the victim yelled to the attacker that she was pregnant, the suspect immediately fled the area.''

Grall said there is no known motive for the assault, and an investigation was underway.

The suspect was Hispanic, 23 to 25 years old, about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall weighing 150 to 170 pounds. The man had a shaved head and was wearing a black sweatshirt and sunglasses.

Authorities urged anyone with information regarding the attack to contact San Dimas sheriff's station detectives at (909) 450-2700.
