CHICAGO — A man was captured on surveillance video allegedly attempting to sexually assault a female store clerk near Chicago, according to WGN.

The incident happened at a perfume store on Thursday, according to the report. The suspect pretended to be a customer, and initially said he wanted to buy perfume for his girlfriend.
