A woman was walking down a Long Beach sidewalk when a man walked up from behind and tried to lift her dress.

A woman was attacked in broad daylight on a sidewalk in Long Beach, when a man experiencing homelessness walked up to her from behind and lifted her dress. He has been arrested.

It happened around 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20, when Long Beach Police said officers were called out to the area of Linden Avenue and E. Broadway. In the video, a woman was seen walking down the sidewalk in a dark dress. Soon after, a man walked up behind her and grabbed and lifted her dress before she fell to the ground. A witness nearby approached the man as he tried to leave, but the suspect ran away. He was gone before the cops got there.

"When I turned around, I did notice he started picking up his pants," said Rebekah Pedersen. "If it wasn't in broad daylight, and that was sitting there, would have raped me."
