From a Somerville Police press release:
Somerville Police are investigating an indecent assault and battery that occurred in the Davis Square area Monday evening. At about 8 p.m., a 32-year- old woman was walking from the Davis Square MBTA station to a nearby address. She exited the station through the rear of the Holland Street side.
The woman proceeded to walk up Dover Street toward Cambridge while talking on her cell phone when she was approached from behind by an unknown suspect who indecently assaulted her. The victim turned around, saw the suspect and screamed while running into the street. The suspect immediately fled in the direction of Davis Square. The victim was not injured and required no medical treatment.
The victim described the suspect as a black male, about 6 feet tall, wearing all black clothing and a black baseball cap.
