Boston police arrest man for assault while wearing security guard uniform
Boston MA Nov 20 2017 A Randolph man is facing charges in court after police say he tried to assault a woman Friday night in Boston while wearing some type of security guard uniform.
Isaiah Brown, 26, of Randolph, was arrested Saturday night and now faces charges of indecent assault and battery and impersonating a police officer. He should be arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court.
Police were called to the Hanover Street area of Boston around 2:30 a.m. Friday for a report of an incident assault. A woman told officers she was approached by a man wearing what appeared to be a security guard’s uniform.
“According to the victim, the suspect stated that he needed to talk to her about an important issue and that she had to go with him immediately,” police said. “After following the suspect for a short distance, victim states the suspect stopped and attempted to indecently assault her, at which time, the victim ran away and called police.”
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans praised his officers for making an arrest.
“I want to commend both my officers and detectives for the comprehensive effort that led to the quick arrest of the suspect wanted in this case,” Evans said. “Clearly, the community’s a safer place with this individual off the streets and I hope the residents of the North End can breathe a little easier and take comfort in the fact that this individual is no longer in a position to harm or harass anybody else.”
The incident remains under investigation by detectives.
