Somerville police are looking for a 16 to 19 year old clean cut black male in connection with a robbery and assault at 158 Broadway Sunday morning.
At about 7:15 a.m. a store clerk who was opening up a business for the day, was confronted by a suspect with a gun, police said. The suspect allegedly demanded cash and then physically assaulted the victim. The suspect fled on foot toward Sullivan Square with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
Police described the suspect as a young black male, 16 to 19 years old, 5-9 to 5-10 wearing a black hooded sweat shirt, light color jeans, and clean cut. There is no surveillance video of the attack. Police declined to release any further information.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact Somerville Police Detectives at 617-625-1600, extension 7224.
Maybe the Police should investigate the where-abouts of one Dr. Mrs. McCarthy. The grand ole gal of the Somerville news has gone missing right before the primary. The police should question the other canidates on the missing frontrunner. Word out of the LSOP is she has missed the daily Mass too.

This is not a story which needs supposedly "humorous" comments R.I.P. This was a very serious assault and the police need help to find this violent criminal, not jokes from you.
Have respect for the victim by not making a joke about it.

Somerville Police put a recorded message call out to area residents (I'm one) informing them of this and asking them to keep and eye out. Their message, I think, used the term "sexually assaulted", which I don't see here. Any more information on this, or any updates on the case?
RIP, my wife walks this area alone all the time. I really don't think your comments are at all funny.
