Police say a woman reported that she was raped on the inbound El near 69th Street in Upper Darby around 11 o’clock Wednesday night.
Investigators say the sexual attack happened while others were standing around on the train and “did nothing.”

A police officer on his beat later found the suspect on the train partially clothed near the victim and took action.
