Sports Redux: Does A Win Mean Anything?
From the DA's Office: A man was arrested for attempting to kidnap a Los Angeles woman who was walking her bike in Allston early this morning.
At about 3:00 am, 25-year-old Bruce Saidi, of Chelsea, and an unknown accomplice, who is still at large, grabbed the woman and held a knife to her throat. Saidi held her head down while the other guy took the bike, and the two forced her over the footbridge over the Mass Pike.
A police officer saw them moving toward Highgate Street. Saidi released her and took off, but police captured him at the train tracks near Mayflower Street.
Besides the knife, another chilling detail was that Saidi was found with "a single glove and a length of white rope."
The DA's office released Saidi's mugshot. He's being held on $25,000 bail. The accomplice has not yet been identified.

I'm glad the young lady escaped but do people from CA think that anything east of Fresno is safe? 3 AM? WTF? BTW, they better do their due diligence before releasing this guy. Kidnappers (and presumably rapists)working in pairs? Scary prospect.
