CLEARWATER - A 38-year-old woman was attacked Monday morning while running on Clearwater Beach, police said.
The woman was out for a run at 5:45 a.m. when she stopped to fix her iPod in the 800 block of Eldorado Avenue, said Elizabeth Daly-Watts, Clearwater's public safety spokeswoman. She then was attacked from behind by a man smelling of alcohol.
The woman broke free and ran to her family's home nearby, where she called police, Daly-Watts said.
Patrol officers checked the area but did not find the man. He is white, about 6 feet tall and thin. He has shaggy dirty-blond hair, a dark tan, leathery complexion and no facial hair. He is thought to be 30 to 45 years old.
