Boston Police report a woman was indecently assaulted early Sunday at Harvard and Comm. avenues., two weeks after another woman was similarly attacked at Harvard and Brighton avenues.

Police say a woman was walking in the area of Brighton and Park Vale avenues. around 3 a.m. on Sunday when she was grabbed by a Hispanic man, medium build, in a white T-shirt and tan-colored hat. She managed to fight him off; he was last seen running down Brighton towards Union Square.

Another woman reported she was also grabbed around 6:05 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15 at Harvard and Brighton avenues by a Hispanic man, approximately 25-35, wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and a black backpack. She also fought him off and chased him down Harvard towards Comm. Ave. before losing sight of him, police say.

Police say they do not yet have any evidence linking the attacks, except for the fact they happened in the same general area.

I can just image what Howie Carr is thinking. Papers, please? How many EBT cards are you carrying?

possibly Central American background. There are, of course, Brazilian and Central American students, but I don't think that's the way you meant.

this time about Denali. It's even more of a hyperventilating game of Wingnut Mad Libs than usual.

How dumb and hateful do you have to be to read that ridiculous asshole and take him seriously?

as you'd have to be to read him if you hate him.

are getting themselves all foamy about, if usually only entertainment value. The spectacle of human bigotry, ignorance and folly is a rich, endless tapestry. Carr is practically the Leonardo of room-temperature-IQ non sequitur hatred.

What's the matter, relaxyapsycho: are you embarrassed by Carr, would prefer that non-wingnuts don't read him? I imagine if I were a right-winger, I'd be ashamed of him, too.

William Jennings Bryant railed against the Rothschild's 100 years ago. Makes sense to me.

Looks a bit like the underground tunnel connecting Park Street and Downtown Crossing?

Also, props to the victim who was attacked, then proceeded to fight off AND chase her attacker. When I was physically assaulted by a cyclist while running along the Charles, I wish I had the wherewithal to chase after him. It's the only way some people will get caught, I think.

She also fought him off and chased him down Harvard towards Comm. Ave.

Just heard a quick blurb on Whdh-tv that a suspect is in custody matching the description in Cambridge and these two assaults.

*** Nevermind. They were reporting old news today.
