Woman assaulted in party bus at Eagles game

Police are seeking the rapist who assaulted a woman in a party bus parked at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia during Sunday's Eagles game.

The 40-year-old woman told authorities she left her friends at the game about halftime to return to the bus for some rest but could not find the vehicle. She sought help from someone who appeared to be an event staffer, said Capt. John Darby of the Special Victims Unit.

The man, wearing a bright yellow vest, helped the woman find the bus. A former school bus, it had been converted into a party bus, painted green with the Eagles logo on it. It was parked in a lot in the 700 block of Pattison Avenue.

The man entered with the woman, who was from out of town, and left as she fell asleep. A short time later, police said, he returned and sexually assaulted her.

Meanwhile, several people in the large party at the game had noticed their friend was missing and went looking for her, Darby said.

By the time they arrived at the bus, the assailant had left. Darby said police were notified of the assault about 4:30 p.m.

The woman was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for treatment.

Darby said investigators were working with officials from Lincoln Financial to determine whether the woman and her attacker are visible on any surveillance video from the parking lot.

Hofmann: The truth is the Eagles have been bad at running the ball this year, which has to do with talent and with health.
OPINION
Robert A. Brady: Some on Capitol Hill have taken to blaming union contracts for the problems of Detroit's Big Three automakers. Nothing could be further from the truth.
