According to LAPD, the man followed the victim into an apartment building elevator and then to her front door. He then pinned the woman against the wall near her front door. 

"Suspect motioned victim to open her apartment door while pressing his exposed genitalia against her," the LAPD alert said. 

The suspect walked back to the elevator after the victim repeatedly yelled "no."

Police asked anyone with information to call detectives at (213) 473-0447.
