He's described as Hispanic, in his early 20s, 5-6, 140 pounds with a thin build and short black hair with a possible speech impediment. He was wearing a dark jacket, black pants and dark shoes. He also had a black backpack, portable radio with an attached orange earpiece and black handcuff.

Around 7:45 p.m., police responded to the scene for a reported suspicious person. A 43-year-old homeless woman said an unknown Hispanic man entered her tent area and identified himself as a cop. He grabbed her and tried apply handcuffs but she resisted and asked to see his credentials. He refused and fled on a bicycle when the woman yelled for help.
