REWARD GROWS IN HUNT FOR ATTACKER.Byline: Gloria Gonzales Daily News Staff Writer The City Council is increasing the reward for information about a man who sexually assaulted a 64-year-old woman in a mobile home on Jan. 25.

On Tuesday, the council is expected to vote to add $5,000 to the pot. ``We've offered rewards before in serious cases,'' said Councilman Michael Markey.

When you put out a reward, people who might have seen him or might know will come forward.'' The reward will be available as soon as the council votes on it Tuesday night. On Friday, each council member said they would vote to increase the reward amount.
