CHICAGO (STMW) -- Authorities are releasing a sketch of a man who tried to sexually assault a woman Thursday morning in the Northwest Side Portage Park neighborhood.

The woman, 24, was walking in the 5100 block of West Grace Street about 11:35 a.m. when the man removed her clothing and tried to sexually assault her, Area North detectives said in a community alert.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man about 40 years old, about 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair, the alert said.

Police think he may be driving a black Chevrolet Tahoe or Trailblazer with "sport" white lights, according to the alert.
