Her injuries were serious enough to require emergency surgery, and she is now&nbsp;listed in \u201ccritical but stable\u201d condition.<\/p>\n<p>In a press release, the Salt Lake City Police Department <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slcpd.com\/2022\/02\/12\/slcpd-detectives-arrest-suspect-in-aggravated-assault\/\">said<\/a> it appeared to be a random attack:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Working with the SLCPD\u2019s Crime Lab and CompStat &amp; Analysis Unit, detectives with the SLCPD\u2019s Robbery Squad identified 30-year-old Eric Jones as the suspect in this case.&nbsp;During the investigation, the victim told SLCPD she let the suspect inside her residence so he could shower. The woman described the suspect as being homeless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Officers found and detained Jones five days after the attack. He was booked at the Salt Lake County Metro Jail regarding a single count of aggravated assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo additional information on this case is being released at this time. SLCPD detectives are continuing their investigation,\u201d the department\u2019s news release said.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage posted February 7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Yo0LdiDhVQ&amp;t=96s\">showed<\/a> the outside of the apartment building and featured Detective Michelle Mechling telling Fox 13 it was not known if the man and woman knew one another.
