Police are on the hunt for a man who they say robbed and sexually assaulted a woman in Chester, Pennsylvania.
A man who says he’s a loved one of the victim told NBC10 the woman was on East 24th Street around 4 a.m. Friday when an unidentified man robbed and sexually assaulted her at gunpoint.

Chester Police confirmed they are investigating the incident.
“This is the first robbery/sexual assault that has occurred in that area,” a spokesperson for the Chester Police Department wrote. “It appears to be a crime of opportunity.”
