Police say woman robbed and sexually attacked at knifepoint

The Boston Police Department reports a woman was robbed and then sexually attacked at knifepoint at Dorchester Avenue and Harbor View Street around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

The suspect is described as black, in his 20s with a medium build, short black curly hair, and a small amount of facial hair. He was wearing dark clothing and may have fled on foot in the direction of Sydney Street.

The attack came as police continue to search for a man who has been indecently assaulting women in the area of Edward Everett Square. That suspect, however, is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man.
