The Massachusetts State Police are investigating a reported sexual assault that occurred on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton early this morning.
An adult male reported that as he walked along Soldiers Field Road between 3 and 4 AM a male driver pulled up and asked for directions. The pedestrian told the driver that he couldn't provide directions and continued walking. The vehicle followed him for a short period of time before the driver stopped, exited the vehicle, approached the victim on foot, and physically and sexually assaulted him. The victim fought back and eventually the suspect returned to his vehicle and drove away.
The suspect is described as a male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a Middle Eastern accent. The suspect’s vehicle may be a gray Honda CRV sport utility vehicle.
The investigation by the State Police Detective Unit for Suffolk County and State Police Troop H is ongoing.
As a general rule, members of the public are urged to be aware of their surroundings at all times wherever their location, and call 911 to report anything or anyone suspicious.
