WHITE PLAINS, Westchester County (WABC) -- Police are investigating the sexual assault of a woman near a train station in Westchester County.

It happened at about 11:30 p.m. Nov. 8 as the victim was leaving the station in White Plains.

Police say she was walking along the sidewalk from the train station and turned to go down a path off Water Street when a man rode by on a bicycle and grabbed her.

The victim, who is in her 20's, was able to put up a fight, fending off her attacker. He jumped on his bike and rode off, but not before she got a good look at his face.

Police have released a sketch of the man they are looking for. He is about 5'6" and in his 20's.
