Assault on Porter St.

Just got an alert about an assault on Porter Street:

This is Deputy Chief Paul Upton of the Somerville Police Department with an important public safety message for residents in your area. Late Thursday evening, a 24 year-old woman was indecently assaulted as she walked on Porter Street near Peterson Terrace. The victim was grabbed from behind and assaulted before she screamed, apparently scaring off the suspect. The suspect then fled down Peterson Terrace toward Linden Street.

The suspect is described as a male, about 5’ 10”, wearing a dark blue ski jacket with a black patch on the left sleeve, blank pants and black shoes. He was wearing some type of black mask covering his face.

I guess that explains the police cruiser parked on Porter at the top of Peterson tonight.

I got this too. I wonder what made this crime different enough from others to spark an alert.

I'm sure we just need to understand the attacker's motives. He's probably just a playful person who means no harm.
