Oakland and San Francisco Police Arrest Pair of Rape Suspects
Two men were arrested this week on sexual assault and other charges in unrelated cases, with witnesses on a San Francisco Muni helping to identify one of the suspects.
The San Francisco incident occurred Wednesday night, when witnesses on a bus on Market Street saw a 60-year-old woman being assaulted, and yelled for the driver to stop so they could help her. As KTVU reports, the Good Samaritans got off the bus on the 900 block of Market Street around 6:30 p.m. and found the woman unconscious. Officers from Tenderloin Station arrived soon after and the woman was taken to the hospital.
Oakland police capture suspect in sex-assault spree
KTVU s Henry Lee reports.
OAKLAND, Calif. - A suspect has been arrested and charged in series of sexual assaults near Lake Merritt and downtown Oakland, authorities said Wednesday.
KTVU has learned that Oakland police arrested Isaiah Meleke Lawrence, 20, on Thursday. Alameda County prosecutors have charged Lawrence with rape, attempted rape, kidnapping, and robbery. He s being held without bail. I m very glad they were able to catch him. I hope it s actually the person that did it, said Pamela Drake, former director of the Lakeshore Business Improvement District. I certainly don t want anything like this to keep happening, Drake said. I always feel that rather than more police on the beat, we need more investigators.
