Uber driver charged in attack eyed in Boston area assaults
Source: Boston Herald
An Uber driver charged with raping and beating a female passenger 12 days ago in Cambridge is also being eyed in several
recent Boston attacks on women who told police they had summoned Uber vehicles, police
said.
Alejandro Done, 46, of Boston is charged with rape, kidnapping and assault and battery.
He is under investigation by Boston and Cambridge cops for three alleged sexual assaults on women by possible ride-share drivers Sunday, said BPD spokesman David Estrada.
“We are aiding Cambridge in that investigation,” Estrada said. He said police will look at “any potential incidents that could be linked.”
Women told Boston police they were assaulted between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Sunday at Dorchester Avenue and Columbia Road, Commonwealth Avenue and Faneuil Hall — eight days after the Cambridge incident.
