Crime Alert?

This just in from a friend:

Subject: [msgs] muggings in davis sq.

An unfortunate report in from the northern front: There were several (2 to 5) muggings and assaults/beatings in the Davis Square area last night. [Tuesday May 4] Three men (race uncertain) in hooded sweatshirts. At least one happened on
College Ave (w/knife) and one near the bike path on Howard Street.

Please be careful going home, try not to walk alone after dark. The Somerville Police Department's number is (617) 625-1600.

Can anyone substantiate this?

I've seen some posts on Craigslist (where I guess this info is coming from), but that's about it.

I'd like to know more, though.

I just called that number (Somerville Police) to see if I could get confirmation. They wouldn't tell me directly, but suggested I look in today's Somerville Journal crime blotter section for reports.

FYI, the SJ is online (http://www.townonline.com/somerville/), but the crime blotter is only through 4/29 at this writing.

Just moved here less than two months ago. Well, it's a city afer all, so these things are bound to happen :-(
