Police identified the man involved in the March 28 attempted sexual assault as Darren Boyer, 32.

Philadelphia police asked for the public's help with identifying Boyer on Thursday describing him as a man in his mid-30s, about 5-foot-10, thin, having facial hair and wearing all black with the exception of a gold watch and colored sneakers.
