Chattanooga police are looking for a man who is suspected in an early morning sexual assault Tuesday on Webb Road, according to police.

A 25-year-old woman told police she accepted a ride from the man on Highway 58 around 5 a.m. Tuesday. She said the man drove to the 4100 block of Webb Road and then tried to have sex with her.

She said she got out of the car and flagged down a passing driver, then later called police.

The victim told police the man is in his mid- to late 30s and was wearing a red Georgia toboggan, a red shirt and khaki or black pants.

She described him as a black male with dark skin and said he was driving a newer, four-door sedan.

The woman was not injured during the incident.

Investigators are still working to confirm the details of the encounter, according to police.
