WESTON, Fla. — Authorities in Broward County have arrested a suspect wanted for grabbing a woman before allegedly exposing himself in public last week.

On Friday, detectives in Broward County announced the arrest of a 17-year-old suspect wanted in connection to an attempted sexual battery.

He has been identified as Anthony Alejandro Gonzalez Tovar.

The incident happened around 4:39 p.m. on April 8 along the 16300 block of Golf Club Road in Weston.

The victim told police she was sitting on the grass when authorities said she was grabbed from behind by an unknown subject, struggling with her attacker before he got up and fled after putting his shoes on.

Video footage was obtained by investigators, who said it showed the light-skinned suspect wearing a khaki-colored hoodie and distinctive red and black pants “exposing and pleasuring himself in an adjacent parking lot” before he was seen “slowly approaching the victim, surveying his surroundings and removing his shoes before grabbing her from behind,” according to deputies.

Deputies said Gonzalez Tovar was taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center for processing.
