Man Sexually Assaults Child in Apartment: Cops

It happened Wednesday at the Penn Garden Apartments in Pennsauken.

Police are on the hunt for a man who they say sexually assaulted a child in Pennsauken.

It happened Wednesday shortly before 6 a.m. at the Penn Garden Apartments. Police say a man entered an apartment through an unlocked window and sexually assaulted a child under the age of 13. Relatives of the victim tell NBC 10 that the victim's mother was sleeping in another room when she was awoken by the sound of her child crying.

Police have not released the victim’s age or gender in order to protect the child’s privacy. Other Penn Gardens residents are on high alert.

"Having any kind of predator and me being a parent myself, that's very alarming," said Michael Pettit.

Anyone with information on the incident should call the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office at 856-225-8400 or Pennsauken Police at 856-488-0080.
