The woman who was assaulted after leaving the T station on Saturday talked with WHDH reporters yesterday.
The woman attacked last Saturday while walking home from the Orange Line T station in Charlestown spoke about the incident to WHDH Channel 7 News yesterday. The 28-year-old victim, identified by WHDH as “Michaela,” told reporters that she had just left the Bunker Hill Community College MBTA station at around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24 when a man wearing a winter coat with the hood up approached her. She knew immediately something was wrong. “There was nowhere for me to go. It was dark, and I was alone,” she told WHDH. The man sprayed her in the face with mace, punched her in the eye and face and, when she didn’t fall down, began kicking her until she did, Michaela told reporters. Even while she was on the ground, the man continued to …

Be careful coming back from the Community College T Stop late at night.
An unarmed robbery that occurred Sunday bore a close resemblance to another recent crime, but may not be connected. Boston Police reported that, on Sunday around 9:30 p.m., two men and a woman attacked a female victim on Monument Street. The woman told police (and later Charlestown Patch) that she had recently left the Community College T station. Sgt. Tom Lema said that another woman reported a similar attack on Saturday, Nov. 19. She told police that two men and a woman “punched her to the ground” and robbed her on Dunstable Street after she left the Community College station. The crime occurred around 8:15 p.m., Lema said, and both women were under 35. While the two crimes sound similar, Lema said they differ on important details. …
