Days after a man tackled a woman and sexually battered her on Miami Beach’s Beachwalk, authorities announced Friday he was caught.

Around 5 p.m., Miami Beach police tweeted that Keith Hill Jr., 30, was the suspect in a Tuesday sexual battery in the 2300 block of the Beachwalk.

Police said Hollywood police arrested Hill.

It’s unclear when he was apprehended or what charges he will face.

During the overnight hours of Tuesday, the unidentified woman was rollerblading on the Beachwalk when Hill rushed her from behind and attacked, police say.

WSVN-Fox 7 obtained video that showed a man running up behind the woman and tackling her to the ground before he fled.

Miami Beach police are asking for the community’s help in finding a man who allegedly battered a woman, authorities said.
