ATLANTA — Police are asking the public for help finding a man they said raped a woman this week.
The attack happened on the 400 block of Ralph D. Abernathy Road on Tuesday just before 8 a.m.
The victim told police she was "walking for exercise" when the armed suspect forced her into a secluded area and raped her.
Atlanta police released a sketch of who they believe is the attacker. He is believed to be around 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 160 and 180 pounds.
Investigators said the man had a black revolver during the attack.

Police believe the man frequents the area.
"I never thought something like that would happen out here cause, like I said, it's not just one person out here working out. It's usually a group of people that work out here and we all work in the shop together, and I don't think they may have been aware of what happened," said LaTonya Boyce, who works in the area.
Anyone with information on the case should call Atlanta police.
