BOSTON (WHDH) - State police have arrested a man accused of indecently assaulting two women on the Esplanade in Boston, officials said.

Joel Musipli, 26, was arrested Thursday about 10:20 a.m. in connection with a pair of assaults that happened last week near the Community Boating building along David Mugar Way.

Musipli allegedly rode by the women on a bicycle and touched them in an inappropriate way.

A resident of Charlestown recognized Musipli from a social media post and said he was riding his bicycle in the area of Land Boulevard in Cambridge Thursday morning, officials said.

Police responded to the area and located Musipli in the parking lot of the 99 Restaurant on Austin Street in Charlestown.

After a brief struggle, Musipli was arrested.

He was then transported to Charlestown District Court.
