Officers were flagged down just before 1:30 a.m. by a witness near the 1900-block of Store Street.
Due to the severe nature of the report, members of VicPD flooded the area, found the suspect and pulled over his vehicle a short time later.
Police say the man faces multiple charges of sexual assault, assault with a weapon, robbery, assault, and choking to overcome resistance. The incident is also part of a robbery investigation.
