The break-in and attack occurred at about 3 a.m. Sept. 1 at a home inhabited by female college students, police said. 

The lone occupant of the home at the time was awakened by the suspect, and was beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled to the point of unconsciousness, police said. 

After an investigation, including a scientific examination of physical evidence, a man has been "definitively identified as the person responsible for the attack" and a warrant has been obtained for his arrest, police said in a statement.
