Police are investigating after a woman claimed she was attacked at a New Bedford cemetery while paying respects to a relative over the weekend.

 

Police confirmed that officers were called to Allen and Jacintho streets just after noon Sunday after the woman reported being assaulted by a man at St. John’s Cemetery.

 

No suspects have been identified or taken into custody at this time.

 

The woman, who identified herself to 12 News as Jessica Blanchard, explained in a statement that she was visiting her grandparent’s grave at the time.

 

Blanchard said she had just parked and was getting out of her car when the man “blindsided” her.
