A deaf and mute woman was sexually assaulted and robbed near the Rosslyn Metro station early Saturday morning.
The woman had walked out of the Metro station and was looking for a taxi when a man, possibly homeless, touched her inappropriately and took her money, according to police. Officers had to use written communication in order to gather details about the crime, since the woman could not hear or talk and was unable to communicate with sign language, police said.
