HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Harris County Sheriff's Office says they have arrested a man who sexually assaulted one woman, and attacked another while they were jogging at a west Harris County park.

Jeremiah Williams, 26, was arrested after he was seen running from MUD Park No. 257 in the 16500 block of Smithstone Drive on Tuesday, according to investigators.

The first victim, a 45-year-old woman, told deputies she was running along the park trail at around 7:45 p.m. when she felt a pain on the back of her head, knocking her down to the pavement. Investigators say Williams began to punch her in the face and body, before sexually assaulting her.
