Overview

• A man was taken into custody Thursday on suspicion of assaulting two people Wednesday morning on the Los Gatos Creek Trail near Leigh Avenue.
• SJPD’s Sexual Assault Investigations Unit, assisted by the RTIC task force, worked through the night to identify and locate the suspect.
• Before the arrest, police circulated a surveillance photo showing a thin man in his 30s wearing a black hoodie with distinct writing on the back.
• The incidents rattled residents who say they now feel less safe walking alone along the 12-mile scenic path between San Jose and Los Gatos.
• The department will maintain heightened patrols along the trail for the next two weeks and plans to release additional details on the arrest later this week.
