HOLLAND, Mich. — A man was arrested for allegedly entering a home and sexually assaulting a woman in Holland early Tuesday morning.

The incident happened at around 2:20 a.m. near Michigan Avenue and West 24th Street, according to the Holland Department of Public Safety (HDPS).

We’re told officers searched the home and found the man, who then left the building where another officer was waiting. He was apprehended after a brief foot chase.

The woman who reported the incident said the man had touched her inappropriately, HDPS explains.
