MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- St. Paul police say they are investigating after a 76-year-old woman who was out for a walk was attacked and sexually assaulted last week.
According to police, the incident occurred around 8:40 a.m. Thursday at St. Paul's Lake Phalen. A 76-year-old woman reported to police that she was walking along a path by a waterfall when a man came up behind her, grabbed her and dragged her to a wooded area.
