Police have charged a Charlestown man in connection with a recent attack in the North End when the man allegedly leapt out of his car to attack and rob a woman.

Northendwaterfront.com reports that police arrested the man in Chelsea, one week after the Monday, May 14 attack in the North End.

The site reported that the man demanded the female victim’s money and said he would stab her if she resisted. When she did resist, he struck her in the left ear sending her to the ground.

UniversalHub reported that a similar crime occurred in Jamaica Plain , and Northendwaterfront.com reports that District A-1 police believe that he may be responsible for a similar attack in Charlestown—perhaps to obtain money for drugs.
