Incident reported in Nubian Square area on March 1

Boston police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect in an alleged assault on a pregnant woman at a Roxbury laundromat, an investigation that authorities say remains active.

The incident was reported at about 11:03 a.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at a laundromat located at 104 Warren St. Detectives assigned to the Boston Police Department’s District B-2 are investigating the case as an aggravated assault and battery on a pregnant victim.

What police have said so far

Police have described the case as an assault in which the victim, who was pregnant, was attacked inside the laundromat. The department has released an image of the suspect and has urged anyone who recognizes the individual to contact investigators.

Authorities have not publicly released additional details about the victim’s condition or whether she required hospitalization. Police have also not said whether the suspect and victim knew each other, or whether investigators believe the attack was targeted or random.

Boston police have urged anyone with information to contact detectives assigned to District B-2.

Second reported assault involving a pregnant victim the same day

Police communications from District B-2 also referenced a second investigation the same day involving an aggravated assault and battery on a pregnant person, reported at about 1:02 p.m. in the area of 776 Dudley St. in Dorchester. In that case, police released images of individuals sought in connection with the incident.

Investigators have not publicly indicated whether the two cases are connected. The two incidents were reported roughly two hours apart in neighborhoods served by the same police district.

How the public can help
