The woman was at the bus stop near D and Paul streets Tuesday about 5:50 a.m. when she was approached by a man on a bicycle. The man pointed a gun at her and demanded money, police said.

He then shot her in the face and tried to sexually assault her. The man was last seen riding the bicycle eastbound on Paul Street from D Street, police said.

He was described as a black male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds with braids in his hair. He was last seen wearing a yellow striped shirt and khaki-colored pants.
