TOLEDO: Police in northwest Ohio say a 15-year-old boy has been arrested in the rape of a learning disabled woman along a street as several cars drove past.
Toledo police say the attack happened Tuesday afternoon and that at least four drivers saw what was happening and called authorities. One driver even slowed down and beeped the car horn.
Sgt. Sam Harris says he doesn't fault the drivers for not stopping. He says it's likely they didn't know what was taking place and that some callers said they had witnessed an assault.
Harris says one driver turned around to go back to the scene and saw the rapist running away.
Police arrested the teen at his home early Wednesday morning.
