as spooked by a passing car. he ran off. the victim was uninjured. fairfax county police put up helicopters and canine officers, but the suspect got away. police are trying to determine if this assault is connected to five other attacks in the past two weeks and they issued this warning. >> we want to make people exercising along the trails aware of what is going on and how to be safe. walk in pairs. don't go after dark. don't wear ear buds in your ears so you can hear what is going on around you. just know what is going on around you and be aware of your surroundings. >> reporter: now, the police are suggesting that women walk with partners because they say that all of these half a dozen recent attacks took place in broad daylight some time just after 4:00 p.m. that's the latest live from fair oaks, virginia, chris gordon, news 4.

governor larry hogan announced he is sending more than two dozen members of the national guard to puerto rico to help with the hurricane relief effort. president trump said the effort is complicated because the island is surrounded by, quote, big water. meantime, the suffering on that island is getting worse. more than a week after the storm hit, millions are still in need of food, water, fuel and electricity. while critical supplies are arriving there in the ports, it's been a challenge getting it all delivered, especially to rural areas because there are no trucks or drivers to get it there. and those shipping containers, thousands of them full of essentials we've been telling you about, they are still just sitting there at san juan's main port. >> northern virginia bureau reporter david culver is live right now in chantilly where volunteers are doing what they can to help. david, so many people want to just do something to help. >> reporter: they want to have some role in this, you're absolutely right, pat. they've been working around the clock here in chantilly.

going to get through each pallet of food. everything is donated, not only the food but the warehouse we are in. meantime they are trying to get the supplies down to the island, we caught up with one local mom just back. he went through the hurricane with her two little ones and waited days as their resources were quickly dwindling. she wonders what will become of her home in puerto rico. >> we don't know how the psyche of the puerto ricans is going to be affected because of the way and the wait and the wait and the wait. looting can happen. criminal activity can happen. >> reporter: among good people, sure. >> among good people. it's desperation, it's very desperate right now. people are keeping their calm, but inside it's taking a toll, it's taking a toll. >> reporter: i want to introduce you to dr. marques. not only is he puerto rican, i knou

siblings down there, but you are also looking at this as a professional in psychologist. we just heard from susan whose mom is back evaluating it. as you see the mental situation what are you determining? >> there are multiple concerns. i actually have been talking to professionals in puerto rico, mental health professionals. the biggest concern is after a trauma event like this, an event where people felt they were going to lose their life, many people actually experienced the loss of family members. you develop a series of symptoms that can evolve into what we call mal-ptsd. they immediately think of combat. but ptsd is a trauma response, meaning that an event that you feel exposed to death might cause a series of symptoms like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, feeling of despair, feeling of being overwhelmed. if you are experiencing any of those, you might want to actually seek a counselor from the crisis teams that

maybe talk to one of the counselors, psychologist, and w with ptsd can develop symptoms later on so they should be mindful of that. >> reporter: thank you, doctor. best of luck to your family and obviously the folks down there. pat, he mentions combat and ptsd as one mom describing it as a war zone. >> david, do you have any idea how long it will take those supplies to get there? >> reporter: so, that's one thing that they have been determining is the logistics of this. we do know they had a big shipment of water pallets go out this morning. it was flown there by the puerto rico air national guard. that left joint base andrews so it is arriving today. the question, though, is and they can't answer this even here, how will it actually get to the people outside of the airport and outside of the dock. that's the frustration and the unknowns really. >> that is a big problem. we hope it gets there as soon as possible. thank you so much, david.

afternoon. this time of year the perfect way to think about the temperatures is what you like to keep the temperature in your house at. we're personally like between 68 and 70 degrees. so, when you see temperatures about ten degrees cooler than that, you know it's going to be a chilly start. sunrise tomorrow morning right around 7:03. so it is after 7:00 a.m. at this point. kind of a sad part of the forecast. but aside from that it's sunny and breezy by 9:00 a.m. it will be breezy throughout the day tomorrow. you are going notice that on your saturday with a high during the afternoon hours of 70. so, few degrees cooler than today, low humidity, though, in the forecast for tomorrow. mold spores likely staying on the high side on the weekend for your allergies. yard work, this is a good time to get the grass seed down if you're planting it. the temperatures thankfully below 80 degrees so you'll only have to water the lawn once a day but you do need to water it once a day when you put the seed down. outdoor exercise, in the cool mornings if i was out there running on sunday which i hopefully will be, for me
