Police are searching for a suspect after a woman reported being physically and indecently assaulted Monday evening in a Back Bay parking garage.

Police said officers responded to the report of the assault at 100 Clarendon St. around 5:15 p.m. When they arrived, a woman told them she’d been physically and indecently assaulted by a man. The woman defended herself, and the man reportedly fled the area on foot toward Stuart Street.

The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening, according to police.

The suspect was described by the woman as a “Black man wearing a green hooded jacket or sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers,” police said.

Police released images of the suspect on Tuesday and urged anyone with information to contact detectives at 617-343-4683 or by submitting tips anonymously by calling the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or by texting the word “TIP” to CRIME (27463).

If you observe the suspect, police said to call 911.
