[VIDEO NOTES] HN spoke with the father who had just raced to the park upon hearing the news. In a brief conversation, he told me someone had just tried to rape his child. The little boy, age 5, was being held and comforted by his mother as he was being checked out by Yarmouth FD EMTs near to the restrooms where the attempted sexual assault had allegedly taken place. The family then chose to transport the child to Cape Cod Hospital in their own personal vehicle while a marked Yarmouth Police unit followed. The initial call happened shortly after 8 p.m., when police were called to Peter Homer Park, at 144 Old Town House Road, for a report that a black male on an electric bike had just attempted to sexually assault a 5-year-old boy. The parked was filled with families at the time. A friend of the family said the family had been attending the victim’s brother’s soccer game. At the end of the game, all the focus was on the field, according to the family friend. That’s when a black male in his thirties allegedly lured the 5-year-old boy behind a restroom. The boy was able to scream and cry and apparently scare away his attacker, according to the family friend. The attacker then reportedly took off on an electric bike that was equipped with some type of music speaker system, with a milk crate on the back. The suspect is believed to have escaped along a nearby bike path. He is still at large, and the investigation is very active. HN will provide official updates as they become available… The following HN Video highlights the call audio and scene of the crime… [HN VIDEO – PRESS PLAY]
