Arlington Police Investigating Reported Sexual Assault
ARLINGTON — Arlington Police Chief Frederick Ryan reports that the Arlington Police Department is seeking a suspect in an alleged sexual assault that took place on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014 near the Cambridge city line. The alleged assault is believed to have taken place sometime between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
“This suspect allegedly attacked a woman in broad daylight, and we are asking anyone who may have heard or seen anything to please come forward and assist police in capturing this dangerous felon,” Chief Ryan said.
The incident was reported to have taken place on the Arlington/Cambridge lines in a wooded area near the Route 2 underpass and behind the Alewife Brook Reservation.
Above is the sketch that was put together by Officer Ian Spencer of the Lincoln Police Department which is believed to be a very good likeness of the suspect.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s, about 5’5” tall. He weighs about 150 pounds and has black braided hair and brown eyes. He was believed to have been wearing black boots, black corduroy pants with a red canvas belt, a blue beanie hat that had snowflakes on it, a dark blue jacket, and a gray plaid pullover collar that stuck out from under his jacket.
Any questions or information regarding this incident should be directed to Inspector Greg Foley at 781-316-3916. All callers may remain anonymous.
