Last month, an attempted rape in a pool restroom was reported to law enforcement.  Now, police say that they have made an arrest.

This month, police arrested 22 year old Fernandito Carpio in an attempted homicide.  Police say that while a female victim was entering her apartment, Carpio approached her.  He then sexually battered her before cutting her throat.  The 24 year old victim was able to escape from the back entrance of her residence and is currently recovering from her injuries.

Following the incident, police canvassed the area looking for the suspect.  Through an anonymous tip, they were able to bring the suspect into custody.

After they arrested Carpio, they noticed similarities between the recent attack and the attack that took place last month.  They showed a picture of Carpio to the first victims and she made a positive ID.  The second victim also identified Carpio as the man that had attacked her.
