WORCESTER -- A dating app has once again been used to set up a robbery and assault in Worcester.

A 24-year-old man told Worcester detectives that earlier this month he went to an address on Decatur Street to meet up with a woman he met on the dating app called MeetMe.com. The woman gave the man the address, police said.

The victim headed to the address on July 6 and was attacked by two men when he arrived, police said.

"The two male suspects took the victim's wallet and his cell phone," police said. "The suspects fled on foot in an unknown direction. The victim was from New Bedford and unfamiliar with the area. The victim stated that there was a female present and believes she was the one that lured him to the address."

Worcester Police warned people to use common sense while using dating apps and websites. Police told people it is best to meet in public, not go alone and not go to an unfamiliar address.

This is the third time police have investigated assaults involving the MeetMe.com dating app this year. Two men were assaulted in different incidents in January after they arranged to meet a woman on Laurel Street in Worcester.
