Who is Jovan Murphy? The Springfield, Massachusetts man has been arrested in connection to the violent assaults of at least two women, and the ferocity of his crimes are making viral media headlines. The latest details to come out since the arrest of the Massachusetts man reveals that he not only sexually assaulted his victims, but he also violently cut the throat of one woman.
Western Mass News reports that Jovan Murphy attacked at least two women in a nine day span, leading to his arrest last week. Last week, an unnamed woman was assaulted while she was walking around the area of 100 Block and Union Street in Springfield. The victim told police that Murphy approached her before holding a box cutter to her throat in an attempt to abduct her. The unnamed victim told authorities that she’d put up a fight, and attempted to bite the man who retaliated by cutting her throat with the blade of the weapon. Fortunately, she was able to escape with her life.
The arrest is being attributed to citywide security cameras — some of which captured enough evidence to lead directly to Murphy just three hours after he reportedly attacked the second female victim. Authorities say that Jovan Murphy is also believed to be responsible for a similar attack on another woman — in an incident that took place earlier this month. Police say that in both attacks, Murphy used the same box cutter.
