COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police are looking for a man who they said tried to grab a woman and kiss her while she was exercising at the park.

It reportedly happened Monday, May 13 at East Cobb Park off Roswell Road in Marietta.

According to a report by Cobb County Police, the victim was walking on the trail around 6 p.m. when a man grabbed her by the neck and tried to kiss her. 

The 27-year-old told police she was able to push the man's face away, then punch him in the back of the head. She then ran to the parking lot and called 911. She told police she also thought the suspect seemed to be checking out the children at the park.
