CPS Energy and police  have a warning for San Antonio residents.

They say someone posing as a CPS Energy employee assaulted a woman.

On Sunday the impostor allegedly told the victim he was at her home to cut down some trees in the west service area.

The fake worker was wearing a CPS Energy vest and he was in an unmarked full-sized white pickup truck.

San Antonio police say the man pulled a gray mask over his face and grabbed the woman by the shoulders.

She managed to get away and lock herself in a bedroom, but the suspect broke in.

The report says he told the women to do what he asked of her or he would hurt her.

Someone screaming outside at a party startled the suspect and he ran off.

The victim says the man pretended to have a gun in his back pants.

Authorities say the suspect faces charges of burglary with intent to commit assault.
