Girl, 13, reports attack near Cloverdale Park

Prince William County police are investigating an attempted robbery and sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl near Cloverdale Park Thursday.

The girl reported that she was walking with a friend in the 15100 block of Cloverdale Road, across the street from the park, around 9:30 p.m. when a man walked up behind them and demanded a cell phone, Prince William County police spokeswoman Sharon Richardson said.

The girl was not injured.

The man is described as a black male wearing a black zip-up hoodie with multi-colored rhinestones on the front.
