A Bridgeport man has been arrested on suspicion of attacking a woman as she was jogging in the River North neighborhood last weekend.

Carl Freeman, 34, of the 3200 block of South Halsted Street, is charged with two counts of felony aggravated battery, one count in connection with attacking the woman in public and the other in connection with choking her, police said. Police identified him as the man who attacked the woman about 5:50 a.m. Saturday in the 200 block of West Kinzie Street, according to a news release.

Police on Wednesday released a surveillance photograph showing the attacker.

The attacker followed the jogger and then grabbed her around the neck, choking her before throwing her to the ground, police said.

The two struggled until a passer-by spooked the attacker, who then fled, police said.

The alert Wednesday described the attacker as a white man about 25 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-10; Freeman is described in previous arrest and court records as standing 5-foot-9.

Police would not detail what led them to Freeman but said the lead that pointed at Freeman did not come as a result of the alert.

Freeman appeared in Cook County Bond Court on Friday and was ordered held in lieu of $500,000, according to court records.
