From Wareham Police: On Sunday morning at about 10:15 a.m., a female was out walking with her baby on 11th Street near Waban Avenue. During the course of her walk she observed a male on East Boulevard, and then a few moments later while on 11th Street the male came up from behind and physically accosted her before running off. The victim was able to snap a picture of him fleeing on 11th street toward the East Boulevard area. Officers under the command of Sgt.
