Another assault just across the Expressway
Channel 12 reports today on the assault of a woman in The Fan, just north of Byrd Park. This one was not sexual in nature, police said.
The most recent attack happened overnight Memorial day on Mule Barn Alley off Davis avenue, between Main and Cary. Police are looking into whether this and a sexual assault on North Meadow are related, but say both have similarities.
Police are looking for a Hispanic male, medium build, approximately 5 foot 3 to 5 foot 5, with dark spiky hair.
Richmond has over the years become loaded with neighborhoods of 100 plus years of age. Many houses have become rundown, no areas of renewal at all. This breeds crime and other problems. Having a colledge in center of city doesn’t help matters either. There is a non student element attracted by the female students that brings nothing but trouble into a community. Demolition and renewal may be the answer.
