The 40-year old rape victim told police that she was with her 46-year old boyfriend standing on the platform, when they were approached by the alleged suspect, who the victim said was holding a gun. He pointed the gun at the boyfriend and held the gun at the victim’s back and then pointed it at the boyfriend. He then proceeded to sexually assault the victim.
