Fairfax County Police are looking for a man who lured a woman into his car with the offer of a ride home, then pulled over and groped her instead.

The alleged crime happened just before 9:30 p.m. Saturday night on Shady Lane in the Falls Church area.

“The victim was walking home when a dark colored car pulled up next to her,” FCPD said in a crime report. “The driver offered her a ride home and she accepted.”

“A few moments later, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road and began touching himself and the victim inappropriately,” the crime report continues. “The suspect was described as a middle eastern man, approximately 26 years old, 6′ 0″ with black hair.”

Something new and colorful and about 200 feet long is coming to Vienna: A mural will soon be created on the back wall of the Vienna Shopping Center, visible as you travel down Cottage Street.

Artists Eleanor Doughty, a Vienna native who now lives in Seattle, and Emily Herr, who lives in Richmond, plan to start work on the mural, an overview of Town buildings and area landmarks, beginning November 5 and expect that the project will take up to two weeks, depending on weather, to complete.

Student-volunteers from James Madison High School will work alongside the artists from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2:30-6 p.m. the weekend of November 9-11. Students interested in helping out with the mural, even if only available for an hour or two, should contact Doughty at [email protected].

The town’s newest public art project is being funded by Rappaport, owners of the shopping center at 180 Maple Avenue.

A D.C. man was arrested Wednesday morning after an altercation at the Tysons Corner Metro station and a brief police chase.

Fairfax County Police say 31-year-old Jaron Ulmer was getting off a train at the station just before 7 a.m. when he turned around and accused a man of following him. Ulmer then punched the man several times, according to police.

“Ulmer ran away but was arrested after a short foot pursuit by responding police officers,” said an FCPD crime report. “Ulmer was charged with malicious wounding, public intoxication and obstruction of justice.”

A malicious wounding charge suggests the victim’s injuries were serious enough to make the crime a felony, as opposed to a less severe assault charge.
