DENVER (CBS4)- Police in Denver hope someone recognizes the suspect wanted in an attempted sexual assault.

The man has been described as having a thin build and wearing all black. The sketch shows the suspect's appearance at the time of the assault, including a noticeable bump on the upper right eyelid.

"We were able to get a good sketch. Hopefully somebody recognizes him. He has a bump on his eye and that's something that kind of stands out in people's minds, so maybe it's somebody you know or somebody you see," said Denver police spokeswoman Christine Downs.

Anyone with information regarding this crime or recognizes the suspect in the sketch is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). You can text to CRIMES (274637) then title DMCS and enter your message or send an e-mail to metro-denvercrimestoppers.com. If the information you provide leads to the arrest and charging of a wanted individual, you can receive a cash reward up to $2,000.
