The Boston Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying two suspects wanted in connection with a sexual assault in Brighton.
The sexual assault happened between the hours of 2:45 a.m. and 3:15 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 14. A woman was approached by two male suspects in the area of Commonwealth Avenue and Linden Street. One of the suspects was armed with a knife.
