Police said Friday evening that a suspect was in custody following at least five reports this week of hikers being assaulted on East Anchorage trails.
Police believe a single suspect was involved in the assaults, “but cannot yet confirm that is for certain until we finish the investigation,” police spokeswoman Renee Oistad said in an email Friday evening. “A guy popped out of the woods directly in front of us,” Bronga said Friday. The man yelled at Bronga and her husband, Tom. “He then picked up a stick and started chasing us and hitting us,” she said.“And we’re calling police, and he picked up handfuls of rocks, threw them at us, spit on us, and eventually got a really big rock and threw it at my husband’s back, which ended up leaving a pretty sizeable bruise.
“He just pointed, and said, ‘I need you guys to get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m going to kill you,’ ” McGrevy said in an interview Friday. After a few shocked seconds, McGrevy said, she quickly apologized to the man. After hearing what had happened to McGrevy and her friend, Feenstra said this wasn’t going to keep her from hiking alone.
