Police are investigating an attempted sexual assault in San Diego involving a suspect dressed up as a Barbie doll.
On Friday around 5 p.m., a woman walked into the women's restroom at a Big Lots store in Clairemont.
When she entered a stall, a man climbed under the door after her, grabbed her and tried to sexually assault her, police said.
Investigators confirmed the suspect was wearing a Barbie costume.
The victim fought back, managing to escape and run to a store employee. The suspect ran out soon after, only to be confronted by a security guard.
Police said the suspect threatened the guard with what appeared to be a screwdriver and ran out of the store.
The man suspected of the crime, 40-year-old Gregory Schwartz, was arrested Sunday around 3:40 p.m. near Clairemont Mesa Blvd. and Diane Ave.
