Boston police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who allegedly broke into a woman’s house and crawled into bed with her in Dorchester.
Around 4:40 a.m. on Sunday, Boston police received a report of a person with a knife at an apartment on Dorchester Avenue in Savin Hill, according to an incident report.
The victim told police a man entered her apartment through the back door, which must have been unlocked, police said. She screamed when he got in bed with her and put his arm and leg around her.
The suspect, who appeared to be intoxicated, then left through the back door, and the victim took a picture of him, she told police. He had a knife clipped on his pants, but he did not pull it out in a threatening manner, she said.
The suspect was wearing a white chef’s shirt, black pants, and no shoes, police said. A grey sweatshirt and black hat were found on the back porch, which did not belong to anyone in the apartment, according to police.
Police searched the area, but did not find the suspect.
