A man who one of his alleged victims said came at her “like he was on a mission, like a dog coming to get you” is accused of raping one woman and then attempting to rape another just blocks away in the downtown Boston area before police nabbed him.

Solomon Wambui, 25, of Pratt Street in Lowell, was found dangerous at an initial appearance in the central Boston Municipal Court on Thursday when he was brought in on charges of rape and attempted rape and will remain held at the Nashua Street Jail until at least the end of February, when the dangerousness order expires.

“After full hearing, the court finds based on clear and convincing evidence that no condition of release will assure the safety of the public,” the court clerk’s notes detail.

Rape: Cortes Street

Boston Police responded to the residential first block of Cortes Street at around 5:15 a.m. Saturday and met with a woman there who said that a man had raped her in that area within the previous hour, according to redacted police reports obtained by the Herald.

She said she was walking down Huntington Avenue while on the phone with her mother when the man who would allegedly rape her walked up and began to harass her and get ever-closer as she tried to be on her way.

“Can you go away? Can I have some personal space?” she asked him, records state.

But he would take neither hint nor command, according to the police report, and insisted that she come with him so he could, he told her, “bring you home.”

She continued to walk away until at around 17 Cortes St. when he “grabbed her from the front of her neck and then from behind dragging her down to the ground,” according to the report, and forcibly raped her.

He then left the area and apparently in search of another target, who he would allegedly find in the nearby Eliot Norton Park.

Attempted rape: Tremont Street

Police canvassing the area for the rape suspect wrote that they found their suspect, identifiable by his “small build” and short-sleeved “tan Hawaiian shirt,” walking on Tremont Street across from the Tufts garage at 274 Tremont St. and in the company of a woman. Police stopped them both and separated them.

The woman told police that the man had attacked her as she was crossing through Eliot Norton Park to get back to her car after dropping a friend off in Bay Village. She said she “became aware of a male behind her, and she began to pick up her pace” only to hear her pursuer quicken his own pace.

“He was on a mission, like a dog coming to get you,” she told police of the experience.

He caught up with her, she told police, grabbed her by the waist and put a hand over her mouth — causing the asthmatic woman to have trouble breathing.

“Just relax, just relax, just relax,” the man, who police say is Wambui, allegedly told her as he applied greater pressure to her mouth and pushed her down to the ground despite her muffled protests and attempts to get up.

Then his hand went lower and up again to grope under her skirt, she told police, as she contorted against him. Police say there was indeed dirt and leaves on the back of her clothing, her knuckles were red and her rings were bent out of shape — all from the attack, she told them.

Police arrested Wambui after hearing her story. According to their report, he complained that they failed to give him a Miranda Warning prior to arrest and attempted to refuse being booked.
