Woman Attacked By Man With Needle At ATM
SALEM, N.H. (WBZ)

The Bank of America ATM in Salem, New Hampshire where the woman was attacked March 12.

Police are looking for a man who terrified a woman by trying to rob her at an ATM while armed with a hypodermic needle.

It happened Thursday night at a Bank of America kiosk on Route 28 in Salem, New Hampshire near the Methuen border.   A 35-year-old woman went to the ATM around 7:30 p.m. and a man snuck up and grabbed her from behind.

She told police he held the needle to her neck and demanded money.
  When she told him she had nothing he ran off.

Officers from Salem and Methuen and search dogs were called in, but they found nothing.  Police are having a difficult time in their investigation because the video surveillance system at the ATM was broken at the time of the attack.

The woman was not seriously hurt.  She described her attacker as a young white man in his mid 20's, about six-feet tall, with freckles and facial hair.  He was wearing an olive pullover sweatshirt and black gloves.


Anyone with information should call Salem Police at (603) 893-1911.
