Authorities are searching for a male suspect wanted in an alleged attack on a young woman on High Street as she walked home from work.

According to a release from the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, the 22-year-old woman was grabbed from behind, pushed to the ground and "improperly touched" by a man around 10:30 p.m. on April 27.
