At around 4:46 a.m., Riverside Police Department officers responded to reports of an alleged sexual assault at the trail. The victim said she was entering the trail near San Andreas Avenue and Glenwood Avenue when an unknown man assaulted her.
According to a RPD press release, the suspect is described as a man in his early to mid-20s. He has a slender build and was last seen wearing dark clothing.
The Mount Rubidoux hiking trail is described by AllTrails as “a very popular area for birding, hiking, and mountain biking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.”
