North Aurora police have released a sketch of a man who knocked an elderly woman to the ground on Sunday during her morning walk.
The suspect is wanted for aggravated battery to a senior citizen after a 74-year-old woman was knocked down between 9:45 and 10 a.m. Sunday as she was walking on top of a hill near State Street and Roberts Street, North Aurora police said. The woman was not injured.
Police said the woman was able to scream as she fell, and the man fled northbound from the scene.
The suspect was described as a dark-skinned man, possibly Hispanic. He was about 18- to 20-years-old, heavy-set with a round face, short black hair, and was wearing a red T-shirt with unknown writing, and dark colored shorts.
