Two masked men reportedly attacked a 69-year-old Cambridge woman outside her home on Broadway on Nov. 11, accusing her of not voting for Trump, according to police.

The woman told police she had just returned from work around 6 or 7 p.m. on Nov. 11, when she went outside to throw a garbage bag into the trash. Right after she threw it out, she turned around and saw two tall men in the alley outsider her home, walking toward her.

“It was dark, each of them had a face mask (like those that skiers wear) and dark clothes,” she told police.

The men reportedly approached her and one hit her, knocking her to the ground. The other man put his hand into his pocket. She told police at that moment she thought, “He will shoot me.”

The man who hit her then reportedly said, “You did not vote for Trump.”

The woman said the men did not demand money or anything else. After the attack, they “simply left,” she said.

When she went back into her house, she noticed she was bleeding from her temple.

The woman waited two days before emailing the Public Information Office address to tell police of the attack. "I did not call 911 because by the time I was near a phone (at home) everything had already happened," she wrote in her email. "Also, I think I had a late reaction. ... It seemed unreal."

Jeremy Warnick, who receives the PIO emails as the communication director for the Cambridge Police Department, said it took some encouragement to get the woman to make a formal report.

He said he does not know who the victim supported in the presidential race, however detectives discovered a Clinton sign in a neighbor’s first-floor window, which may have led the attackers to suspect the victim’s political stance.

“This is the only election-related incident that we’ve had reported to us,” said Warnick.

Police are continuing to investigate, talking with witnesses and neighbors, who for the most part did not know the incident had occurred. One neighbor reported hearing two men talking in the alley.

“The uphill battle is that there was a delay in her reporting [the attack], but it is an ongoing investigation,” said Warnick.

No more information is available at this time.
