BOSTON (WHDH) - State police are searching for a man accused of indecently assaulting two women on the Esplanade last week, officials said.

Two women walking on the Esplanade, just west of Community Boating, reported that a man on a bicycle had just grabbed them inappropriately, according to a release issued by Massachusetts State Police Friday.

The man is described as a black man dressed in all black with a black backpack with two pieces of white tape on it.

“I’ve had several women that I know, similar things happen to them, so it’s just an unfortunate situation,” said Ashley Prete, a concerned resident. “I think hopefully they find the guy, but it’s just, you have to be really aware of your surroundings. It’s weird that it happened in such a public place.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Trooper Martin Concannon at 617-727-6780.
