The Philadelphia Police Department’s Special Victim’s unit is investigating the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl who was attacked while making her way to school Friday morning.
Police sources told FOX 29 that the middle schooler was raped in a parking garage at the intersection Broad and Race Streets after she got off of the SEPTA train. Sources say the victim had just gotten up to street level when she was attacked and taken into the garage on Cherry Street by the suspect.
This location is only two blocks from Philadelphia's City Hall, and steps from major tourist destinations and cultural attractions.
The man can be seen in surveillance footage wearing headphones around his neck and a black jacket. The police report describes him as a "black male, late teens early 20’s," with a "dark complexion." He was wearing a "black North Face jacket, black sweatpants with white writing on the pant leg, black and white sneakers," and "what appears to be 'Beat' headphones around his neck."
According to the report, the suspect was last seen walking north towards 16th Street and Vine Street.
Police are also searching for a man connected to a separate assault on Thursday, in which the suspect sexually attacked a 15-year-old girl in the SEPTA concourse.
Police sources said that they are "not ready to say for sure yet whether or not same man in both."
The reports come as violent crime in Philadelphia spikes under Democratic District Attorney Larry Kasner, who Republicans are seeking to impeach. According to Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, homicides are up 50 percent and assaults by gun (shootings) have climbed by 54 percent since he was elected in 2017.
