Please be careful when you are out walking after dark.

This week at least three women have been mugged on Somerville streets. On Washington Street near the Charlestown line, a woman was stabbed with a screwdriver and robbed at 10:15 Monday night while walking home from Sullivan Square Station ("Police are searching for a suspect who robbed and stabbed a woman on Monday" by Auditi Guha, Somerville Journal).

The same evening at around 6:00, a woman was robbed as she walked on Bow Street near Union Square, and on Wednesday a third incident occurred near Beacon Street ("Somerville Police say robber may be targeting women after dark" by Maria Cramer, Boston Globe).

Somerville Deputy Chief Paul Upton encourages people to be be vigilant and to call 911 "if they see something that doesn't look right."

UPDATE 14 December 2008: The police have arrested the guy responsible for the stabbing.
