The suspect was a black male wearing a red jacket. less than 30 minutes later, a woman sitting on her front step on the 1900 block of S 13th street is knocked unconscious by a male wearing the same clothes.

That male followed a woman to her place of business, and robbed her as well. Chief Inspector Frank Vanore said that the Philadelphia police are working with authorities in Montgomery County and have enough to link the male arrested in Whitpain to the rape in Roxborough..That suspects name is Malcom White from Brooklyn New York.

He suspect is still in jail in Montgomery County and will be hit with a detainer which will bring him back to Philadelphia, to face charges of the sexual assault, Vanore said.
