Police Seek Men Linked To Two South Boston Assaults

BOSTON (CBS) -- Police are seeking the public's help in finding the men responsible for two different attacks on women.

Last Saturday, a woman says she was walking near Boston and Mayhew Streets in Dorchester when a man grabbed her from behind. When she screamed for help, the man took off. The man was described as Hispanic in his early twenties, 5'9 to 5'10, dressed in a dark colored sweatshirt.

A similar incident happened back in July about 2 1/2 miles away near Farragut Road in South Boston. The man was described as Hispanic in his early twenties, 5'7 to 5'9, dressed in a dark colored shirt and camouflage shorts.

Both incidents occurred in the early morning hours. Police do not know whether the incidents are connected.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Boston Police at (617) 343-4400, or submit tips anonymously by calling the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1(800) 494-TIPS or by texting the word 'TIP' to CRIME (27463).
