Rapist strikes Shadyside, Hazelwood

Pittsburgh police detectives are trying to identify a man who sexually assaulted two women this week in Shadyside and Hazelwood by crawling through open windows. The rapist assaulted the first woman in the early morning hours on Wednesday and the second on Thursday morning. "I understand its been hot and humid and people leave their windows open, but people need to make sure they do so in a way so that someone can't gain entry to their house," Pittsburgh police Deputy Chief Earl Woodyard said today. Police described the suspect as a thin black man in his 20s, between 5-foot-7 and 6 feet tall. He had braided hair and wore a do rag, police said. .
