Woman Sexually Assaulted By Man On Bike In Cambridge, Police Say

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) -- A Boston woman reported being sexually assaulted by a man riding a bike in Cambridge early Tuesday morning.

Massachusetts State Police say the 24-year-old victim had left a Cambridge bar around closing time and was walking toward the river. She was near the Weld Boat House on Memorial Drive at about 2 a.m. when she said she was approached by the bicyclist.

"As she tried to walk away, the assailant physically and sexually assaulted her," police said. "The victim screamed for help; two witnesses in the area heard her and ran toward her, at which point the assailant got back on his bike and fled."

The woman was treated and released at a local hospital.

She described her attacker as a white man in his late 20s or early 30s, with a stocky build and blonde or light brown hair.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.

Cambridge police do not believe the attacked is connected to any of the recent sexual assaults in the area.
