Police said a 24-year-old woman was riding a Red Line train towards the Morse stop around 10 a.m. on Jan. 2, when a man walked up to her and exposed his genitals.

When she moved to another car of the train to get away from him, he struck her several times. He then touched her inappropriately, demanded she perform a sex act on him, and stole her personal belongings.

The attacker got off the train at the Morse stop.
