Brenna Martinez said that she was leaving an ice cream shop on Charles Street and walking through an alley on Friday when she heard something behind her. That's when she said she turned around and saw two men. One of them grabbed her around the neck, she said, but when she screamed they took off running toward Cedar Street.
Despite Boston police sending out a community alert the afternoon after the attack, Martinez has been critical of the police handling of the investigation. She has posted videos on social media to raise awareness about what happened.
