(Bethel Park, PA) Police are investigating an incident involving a suspicious man on the Montour Trail. 

The Bethel Park Police Department said officers were called to the trail near Limestone Drive around 8 p.m. Friday after a woman reported an encounter. 

Investigators said the man, believed to be between 18 and 22 years old, approached the woman, commented on her appearance and reached toward her arm. The woman’s dog lunged at the man, who then ran down the trail toward Peters Township. 

A bystander witnessed the incident and stayed with the woman until officers arrived. 

Police described the man as about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 135 pounds, with medium-length black hair and a light brown skin tone. He was wearing a grayish-white shirt, tan shorts and possibly clear glasses. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Bethel Park Police Department at 412-833-2000.
