Boston police are investigating whether a lunatic is preying on the elderly after the attempted rape of an 88-year-old woman in her Hyde Park apartment - a stone’s throw from a precinct station and just days after an 86-year-old man was assaulted in the same neighborhood.
“What kind of creature would attack an 88-year-old woman?” said neighbor Yahya Kareem, 63, of the brazen early-morning assault. “This is a sick thing.”
At about 4 a.m. yesterday, a suspect “aggressively” beat and attempted to rape an 88-year-old woman in the Boston Housing Authority’s Malone Apartments in Hyde Park, a 100-person complex for the elderly and disabled.
“She attempted to fight,” said BPD Superintendent Bruce Holloway, later adding, “It’s a horrible case.”
