Police have arrested a 21-year-old man who they say waited for a woman to get out of her car in a Stamford parking garage, then sexually assaulted her as she tried to get into the elevator.
Surveillance footage shows Tyub Mohammed, 21, watching a 34-year-old woman pull into the parking garage for her apartment on the west side of Stamford around 12:30 a.m. Friday, April 24, according to police.
Police said Mohammed got out of the car and approached the woman as she was walking from her car. He followed her into the vestibule area and started talking to her, then lunged at her and tried to kiss her as the elevator doors opened.
Mohammed also groped the woman's genital area, bit her lip and made inappropriate comments to her, according to police. The woman pushed him away and forced him out of the vestibule, at which point he ran.
Mohammed, who works in the area, was arrested and charged with third-degree sexual assault and third-degree assault. Police said he "made some admissions to the sexual assault."
Bond was set at $250,000.
