A string of Jamaica Plain attacks occurred in the fall.

A string of attacks in Jamaica Plain may be connected to a robbery that left hundreds of patient records at Brigham and Women’s Hospital at risk.

WHDH reported that armed robbers stole a laptop and cellphone from a doctor in September. The robbers left the doctor tied to a tree along the Jamaica Pond walking trail.

According to Boston police, that attack is one of a few robberies that occurred in the area this fall.
