Dear Members of the Tufts Community:
At approximately 8:40 PM a Tufts University Student reported to the Somerville and Tufts University Police that a white male, 30-40 Years of age, wearing dark colored puffy jacket and jeans indecently assaulted her in the area of Dearborn Road. The victim was not injured. A search of the area by the Somerville Police and Tufts University Police did not turn up a suspect. The incident remains under investigation and TUPD will continue with enhanced patrol efforts in the area.
Anyone with information to share about this incident should contact either TUPD at 617-627-3030 or x73030 from a campus phone or the Somerville Police at 617-625-1212.
