CHANTILLY, Va. — Police have arrested a man they believe to be connected to two sex crimes in Chantilly that were reported weeks apart.
According to the Fairfax County Police Department, the unidentified man tried to grab a woman on June 3 and entered a home and tried to sexually assault a woman on May 18.
Officers were called to a home in the 14500 block of Northeast Place around 11:30 a.m.
When officers arrived, they learned a woman and her mother were outside. The victim's mother went to visit a neighbor's house when the suspect walked up and grabbed at the woman in an intimate area and put her in a chokehold.
When the victim's mother ran towards the assault, the man ran away. Police were unable to find the suspect.

The woman was able to get away and call police but the suspect left before officers arrived.
