A 12-year-old-girl had to run back into her family’s apartment very quickly Friday morning while she was waiting on the school bus. But she was not alone in that room.

Police said the girl was sexually assaulted by a man waiting inside. The attack happened at The Falls at Sandy Springs Apartments at 5555 Roswell Rd. sometime between 7-7:15 a.m.

Police don’t have much to go on right now. The victim said the attacker spoke with a foreign accent, possibly Russian or Italian.

News of the assault has parents and babysitters in the area very worried.

"We're going to do everything we can," Obie Fozo told Channel 2 Action News. "We're going to be literally looking at every single car that drives through here, looking at every single person who walks by."

Fozo looks after his seven-year-old stepdaughter. He says someone broke into his apartment just a few days before the 12-year-old girl was attacked.

"Now we have to question everyone," Fozo said. "We have no choice."

The victim was treated at a local hospital and released.
