Be Careful Out There

Following the recent lewd acts and assaults around the Central Square T, the Chronicle brings news of another alarming attack last Wednesday near Pleasant and Western in Riverside.

At 12:19 a.m., officers responded to a report of an armed robbery on Western Avenue by Pleasant Street. They found a 39-year-old Cambridge victim with a head wound and blood covering the right side of his face and head and soaking through his clothes and sneakers.

The victim told police he was walking on Western Avenue from Central Square when a car pulled over in front of him as if to park. Three men got out on the sidewalk in front of him.
