Sandy Springs police have released a composite sketch of a man who attacked a high school student on her way to school last week.

The 15-year old told police she bumped into the man in the breezeway of an apartment complex off Summit Springs Drive.  The man grabbed her, pinned her against a wall and slashed her leg with a knife.

Sandy Springs Police Captain Steve Rose says the cut was not deep and the victim was not seriously injured.

Rose says, "Perhaps with a composite that person, if he lives in that area, someone will recognize it."

The suspect is described as a black male 6’0” tall, thin, with a small mustache and bushy eyebrows. He appears to be in his late 20’s and was wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and black shoes.

Anyone with information concerning the identity of this male is requested to contact Det. D. Lapides at 770-551-6933.
