Assault Attempt in Davis Sq

Hey all. My neighbor notified us that he saw 2 men jump out from behind the wall at Kidder and College last night around 11pm and try to drag a woman (who was walking about 50 feet ahead of him from the T) down Kidder. He yelled and they ran off. When the police arrived, they said a similar incident had been reported the week before on Morrison. Has anyone heard of this or similar stories? Does anyone have a description of the alleged assailants?

ARG!!!! THIS PISSES ME OFF TO NO END.

How much time and energy are you willing to devote to do something about it?

If we were all willing to spend 20 minutes one evening a week walking in groups along area streets that would be a serious impediment to this sort of thing.

good point. I make it point to walk around my block for that very reason. And if your the photographer sort, keep your digital cameras handy as well.

This reminds me, there was young girl missing from Somerville several months ago, I thought I saw posts here about here too. I think she was asian. Does anyone know what ever happened with that?

It was this post. No, I don't know what has happened since then.

I asked about a month ago and was told there was no further leads. Very sad.

I agree with you, but it pisses me off that these sort of precautions are necessary.
