Berkeley Police have released sketches of one of two men sought in the attempted rape of a woman on Aug. 9 in the 1900 block of Addision Street. 

The two grabbed the woman shortly before 10 p.m. as she was walking to meet friends at a nearby cafe. Threatening violence, the two attempted to rape the woman, who successfully fought off her assailants and fled. 

The first suspect is identified as a pale white male aged 22 to 25, about 5’8” tall and weighing approximately 110 pounds. Dressed all in black and wearing heavy “goth” makeup, he sported an earring. Police have released sketches of the man as he might appear with makeup and without.  

The second suspect was a heavily built, deep-voiced male of indeterminate race who stands about 6’2” tall. 

Anyone recognizing one of the suspects is requested to call Detective Keith DeBlasi of the Berkeley Police Sex Crimes Detail at 981-5735.
