A Woodbridge woman reported that an acquaintance assaulted her and tried to pull a gun during the struggle. Prince William County Police are asking for the public's help to find him.

The 28-year-old woman reported on Oct. 24 at 4:49 p.m. that she and Dunlap were on the 2500 block of Chadwick Court in Lake Ridge, when they began to argue. The argument quickly escalated as they walked into a parking lot, police said. 

"During the encounter, the accused assaulted the victim, resulting in a struggle," Officer Jonathan Perok, a spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department, said in a press release. "While the two were struggling, the accused attempted to grab a handgun." 

Witnesses were able to break up the fight, and Dunlap fled the area. The woman did sustain injuries to her upper body, Perok said. After an investigation, police obtained a warrant for Dunlap's arrest.
