Man Exposes Himself To Woman, 10-Year-Old Son During Robbery: BPD

BOSTON, MA — Police are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a mother and her 10-year-old son at knifepoint before exposing himself to them.

Boston Police responded Monday morning at 6:30 to a report of an armed robbery on Paris Street. A 43-year-old woman told police she was leaving her home with her son when a man with a folding knife entered the stairwell.

The suspect told the victims to sit on the steps and demanded money, taking cash from the woman's purse, police said. The suspect then allegedly exposed himself to the victims while attempting to force them back up the stairs.

A neighbor ran down the stairs and yelled at the suspect, forcing his retreat. The suspect fled in a dark colored sedan - possibly a Toyota with a partial plate of 5FX, police said. The car had been parked at the corner of Marion and Paris with its hazards on.

The suspect is described s a white man with green eyes and yellow hair. He is about 6 feet 2 inches tall with a muscular build and was wearing all black, including a hat and mask.
