Boston Police report they are looking for a man who grabbed a woman from behind as she was walking home in South Boston early Sunday - and fled on a black mountain bike after he was startled by another person.
According to police, the woman was walking on W. 2 Street between D and E around 2:25 a.m., when the man grabbed her from behind and groped her:
The victim described the suspect as a male of unknown ethnicity but had a medium brown complexion, approximately 5'8"-5’10” tall, muscular build with facial hair described as scruffy. The suspect was wearing a black or dark blue sleeveless hooded sweatshirt which he wore with the hood up. After being startled by a witness, the suspect fled the area on a black mountain bike.
This is the third attack on a woman by a man on a bicycle reported since July 15, when a woman was attacked near Fresh Pond in Cambridge. Another woman was attacked Friday on the Esplanade.
