Police suspect man in 2 Fall River assaults

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- A man arrested earlier this week on abduction charges is now a suspect in another, similar crime.

Police say 37-year-old Angel Luis Cruz is behind the March attack at Fall River's Kennedy Park.

A 66-year-old woman fought off her attacker with a rock.

Police say Cruz met the description provided by that woman.

He was arrested earlier this week on charges of kidnapping and aggravated rape.

Police say a 58-year old woman was gardening in her front yard in Fall River when a man grabbed her, threw her in his car and drove away.

She says she was sexually assaulted.
