Police have released new photos of a man wanted for questioning in a Lincoln Park attack that critically wounded a DePaul graduate with slashes to her face and throat.

The man is currently a suspect in a West Town vehicle theft case, but has “similar demographics” to a suspect in the sexually motivated Lincoln Park assault and attempted abduction, Chicago police said.

Police released video of the suspect on Wednesday, and released additional photos on Thursday.

In the July 18 attack, a 22-year-old woman was walking home when someone attacked her and slashed her face and throat, police said. She was found bleeding in the 2300 block of North Halsted Street and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition.

Police said the suspect is also wanted for attempting to abduct the woman.

Investigators are treating the attack as sexually motivated, police have said. The woman fended off her attacker and was not sexually assaulted, according to police. A police spokesman said the attack appeared to be random.
