Akron police arrested a 32-year-old man on Monday in connection with an attack at Summit Metro Park, according to a press release.
Akron officers and a city park ranger responded to a 911 call around 9:17 a.m. in the 1100 block of Cuyahoga Street near Trailhead that a woman was screaming for help. When officers arrived and spoke with the 33-year-old victim, who police said was visibly shaken, she told officers that she had just come out of the bathroom when an unknown man grabbed her from behind and began to attack her.
According to police, three Good Samaritan women heard the victim screaming for help and rushed to her aid. During the attack, one of the women reportedly hit the suspect on the head with a rock and helped pull the victim away from the attacker.
The suspect was identified as Issac Armour.
Armour was arrested at the scene and later charged with sexual battery, false imprisonment and assault. He was booked into the Summit County Jail. His vehicle and other evidence were seized and will be held for further investigation, police said.
