On Sunday, May 3, 2009, at about 9:30 p.m., an 18-year-old woman was in the parking lot of a market located in the 10900 block of Sherman Way in the City of Burbank.  As she was getting into her car, a suspect approached her on foot and asked if she would give him a ride out of the area because he had just been attacked by local gang members.

The victim agreed to take the man to Victory Boulevard and Vineland Avenue.  Once there, the suspect pulled out a knife and threatened the victim with it.  He forced the victim to drive him to the City of Santa Clarita where he sexually assaulted her inside her vehicle. He then drove away in her car and left her behind.
