Daily News | Police arrest man in connection with random SEPTA station attacks on two teen girls
"We will continue looking at this and whether or not hate crime charges would be potentially added," said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch.ALEJANDRO A. ALVAREZ / Staff PhotographerSEPTA police on Thursday arrested a 27-year-old Philadelphia man they believe randomly assaulted two teen girls at subway stations on their way to school in separate incidents earlier this month.
The first assault occurred Sept. 9 at the Broad Street Line’s Walnut-Locust station. Around 7 a.m., a 17-year-old Central High School student was on her way to school, when the man grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground. The girl had no prior interaction with the man, Busch said, and he immediately fled the scene after the attack.
Neither girl was hospitalized, and their physical injuries were not serious, Busch said. The girls reported the attacks to school officials later in the morning, he said, who connected them with police.“Since there was nothing said by the attacker, we don’t know if these are hate crimes incidents,” he said.
