State Police Investigate Jogger Assault in Boston

On October 22, 2006, shortly after noon, State Police from the Brighton Barracks responded to a report of an assault of a female on a pedestrian path that runs adjacent to Beacon Street, near Chestnut Hill Drive, in Boston.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Richard McCarron indicates that a 19-year-old female was jogging on a pedestrian path at about 12:15 p.m., when she was sexually assaulted (unwanted sexual groping) by a man on a mountain bike. The man then fled the area on his bike up Chestnut Hill Drive. The female was uninjured.

The assailant was described as a white male with a pale complexion, clean shaven, average build, approximately 5'9" to 5'10", wearing olive green cargo pants, a black hooded sweatshirt, a navy knit hat, and sunglasses. The man reportedly had dark hair protruding from under the hat. He was riding an "older looking" mountain bike.

Police are asking that if anyone has any information about this incident, please contact the State Police Barracks in Brighton at 617-727-4812.

State Police were assisted in this investigation by Boston College Police.

This is all the information that is currently available. Please do not contact the barracks.
