Hot Springs police are looking for a male suspect in connection with two reports of sexual assault Sunday near the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail, police said in a release Monday.
At approximately 3 p.m., officers responded to the area of the Greenway Trail and Golf Links Road in reference to a sexual assault and made with the first victim who stated a male had approached and attempted to force himself onto her, the release said.
