A 47-year-old woman was assaulted as she walked out to her car at the Swanbrook Apartments in Fayetteville Sunday evening, police said.

The woman said she was hit on her head from behind, knocking her to the ground, and though the suspect pulled on her purse he didn’t take it or any of its contents, police said.

The woman described the suspect as a 20-year-old black male about 5’9” with a slender build and possibly wearing a blue sweatshirt.

The incident happened around 9 p.m.
