Bath police are asking for the public’s help to find a man they say broke into a woman’s High Street home Wednesday morning and punched her in the face.

According to a press release issued Friday afternoon by Bath Police Chief Michael Field, police responded to an assault at 60 High St. at about 5:45 a.m. Wednesday morning. A 30-year-old woman told police she was awakened in her home by a man standing over her, who then punched her in the face.

She told police she was flailing against the suspect but doesn’t believe she made contact. She grabbed a bat and when she turned around her assailant was gone. She was taken to Mid Coast Hospital by friends where she was treated and released.

“Nothing was taken from the home and it is unclear at this time what the motive was for this crime,” the release said.

The intruder is described as approximately 17-23 years of age, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds with olive skin, dark black eyebrows and dark eyes. The victim said the man had a thin athletic build and was wearing a black “hoodie” with no visible logo.

Detective Sgt. Dan Reed of the Sagadahoc Sheriff ’s Department completed a sketch of the suspect.

The case remains under investigation. Bath Police Department is asking anyone with information about this incident to contact Detective Marc Brunelle at 443-8367 or mbrunelle@cityofbath.com.
