MERRIFIELD, Va. — (WMAL) An 11-year-old girl was inappropriately touched by a man in a Merrifield Target this weekend, and Fairfax County police have released surveillance images of the suspect.

A girl was shopping with her father at the store when she was assaulted. The child told her father that a stranger had approached her and touched her buttocks. The father immediately called police.

The suspect appears to be in his 20s, Caucasian, with short, dark hair. At the time he was wearing a light gray shirt, dark gray shorts, and black shoes. He left the scene in a burgundy Ford Mustang.

Anyone with information regarding the assault is asked to contact Detective L.D. Anderson of the Major Crimes Division, Criminal Investigation Bureau, at 703-246-7800.
