A 25-year-old woman was nearly raped after leaving a Green Line train from the Brookline Village stop early this morning. She told police that the man followed her from Government Center to Brookline Village and attacked her on Cypress Street. When he attacked, she managed to get away and run home.

Brookline police have released a description of the man. From the Globe:

A Hispanic man, possibly of Mexican descent, who is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and has a medium build. The man, in his early 20s, was clean shaven and kept his hair shorter than crew cut…. He was wearing boots, a navy blue hooded sweatshirt, and blue jeans.
