A man recently released from state prison is being held in the Escambia County Jail after attacking two women today and sexually battering one of them.
Terrance L. Coleman, 22, of 1116 North Q St., Pensacola is being held under a $200,000 bond. He is charged with one count of sexual battery and one count of attempted sexual battery.
The first incident occurred around 1 a.m. at Pensacola Village, 500 E. Fairfield Dr. A 20-year-old woman said she was walking in the complex when a man asked how she was doing. The victim answered him and kept walking.
Shortly thereafter, the victim said the suspect grabbed her by the neck, began choking her and ripped her dress during the attempted sexual battery. The victim said the man said he was going to kill her as she screamed for help. The victim said the man punched her in the face before he fled the scene. She also told police she may have scratched the suspect.
The second incident occurred between 5:30 and 6 a.m. in a public restroom at Baptist Hospital, 1000 W. Moreno St. The 33-year-old victim, who was visiting a friend, told police she went into the restroom and when she unlocked the door to the restroom, the suspect entered, locked the door behind him, and attacked her.
The man sexually battered the victim and choked her before he fled the scene. The woman, who told police she scratched the suspect, then went to a nurses’ station nearby and reported the attack. Coleman has no known connection with the hospital.
A description of the suspect from both incidents was dispatched to officers. Officer Brad Buddin spotted the suspect, who fit the description and had fresh scratches on his face, around 7:30 a.m. near M and Lee streets and took him into custody.
Coleman was released June 1 from state prison after serving almost two years on an aggravated battery charge stemming from an incident that occurred Sept. 13, 2008, when he attacked and beat a woman in the area of Hayne and Cross streets. The woman received facial fractures in that incident.
