The man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Brookline appeared in court Tuesday.

Mainor Edgardo Suazo-Martinez, 20, was charged with assault with intent to rape, strangulation and kidnapping. He also had two outstanding warrants for child rape charges out of Boston.

Suazo-Martinez is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing set for Wednesday.

Brookline police arrested an Suazo-Martinez early on Oct. 6, charging him with sexually assaulting a woman near Thorndike Street.

Around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 6 the victim was walking home from a friend’s house on Commonwealth Avenue, when a man approached her and tried to strike up conversation. When she did not engage, the man took her phone and keys from her hands, according to Brookline police.

She kept walking but the man pulled her into an alley near Thorndike Street where he sexually assaulted her and choked her, a statement from Brookline police said.

The woman was able to get to a safe place.

“Quick thinking by the victim and her friends who came to her assistance, helped provide the police with valuable information that lead them to locating the subject in the area of Brighton Avenue and Harvard Street,” the statement read.
