BOULDER, Colo. – The Boulder Police Department is asking for the public’s help to find a man who grabbed a woman and stole her headphones earlier this month.
On Thursday, July 4, between 6:15 and 6:25 p.m., the adult female was walking southbound on the west Boulder Creek Path in the 700 block of Baseline when an unknown man grabbed her from behind and took her headphones.
The woman fought back, using pepper spray and biting the man’s hand, possibly causing a significant injury to one of his fingers, possibly on his right hand. She then ran to a nearby fire station for help.
The suspect is described as a white male approximately 30 to 40 years old and about 5’8” to 5’9” tall. He was last seen wearing a navy blue or gray shirt and had long brown or black hair. If you see someone matching this description or with a set of silver/gray Bose headphones, please call police.
