EAGAN, Minn. — The Eagan Police Department is increasing its patrols after one sexual and one physical assault were reported to the department in the same area.
The latest assault occurred on Thursday morning when a woman was attacked while walking alone on the trail in Lebanon Hills Regional Park, said the police department.
"Law enforcement has limited suspect information, so we are encouraging community members to travel with someone else and be vigilant while using the Lebanon trail system and contact law enforcement if you see anything suspicious," said the release.
The police said a similar attack occurred on Sept. 7, but the victim in that case was able to escape.
"There is no evidence at this time that these incidents were in any way related or committed by the same person," the Eagan Police said in an updated news release on Monday, Nov. 11.
Eagan Police continue to actively work on both cases.
