Palo Alto police announced today (Oct. 22) that are investigating an attempted groping of a teenage girl in the Homer tunnel.
The teenager was walking through the Homer tunnel around 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday when a stranger walked up to her and made sexualized comments toward her, police said.
The stranger then tried to grab the teenager’s behind, but she moved away, police said.
The teen tried to get away from the stranger, but he kept following her, making additional sexual comments. Once she got out of the tunnel, he rode away on a red bicycle eastbound on Homer Avenue.
The man is described as being a Black man, thin-build in his 40s and about 5’10”. He was wearing black pants, a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black backpack, police said.
