6 men rob, commit assaults at massage business near Chinatown, police say
One of the six men who fled from the roof of the business on the 400 block of North Ninth Street was arrested, police said.
Six young men robbed at gunpoint and committed sexual assaults at a massage business just north of Chinatown early Saturday, Philadelphia police said.
The men forced their way into the business on the 400 block of North Ninth Street about 4:40 a.m., police said Monday.
When police arrived, the men “fled from the roof,” the police department said.
One suspect was caught on the roof, police said.
Saidakhmad Bakiev, 18, of Northeast Philadelphia, was charged with rape, robbery, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, burglary, false imprisonment, sexual assault, indecent assault, and related offenses.
Bakiev was unable to post 10% of $450,000 bail and was being held at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Northeast Philly, court records show.
A spokesperson for the Defender Association of Philadelphia, which represents Bakiev, declined to comment.
Anyone with information about the five remaining suspects who are still at large may call 215-686-TIPS (8477) or the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251 or 3252.
A representative for the business could not be reached for comment.
