Just before sundown one evening in July 2026, a woman was walking the White Oak Bayou hike and bike trail near the Inwood community when she was attacked.

Her assailant dragged her down the muddy bayou bank, sexually assaulted her, and attempted to drown her.

She yanked clumps of hair from his head, gouged at his eye, escaped and found a nearby Harris County Constable Precinct 1 deputy on West Gulf Bank Road.
