Two women were attacked by a man with a hammer Tuesday on the Ridgefield Trace Bike Trail in Crystal Lake, according to the McHenry County Conservation District.

The male offender then fled the scene. Both women were transported, with injuries initially believed to be non-life-threatening, to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital.
