A person of interest is now in custody in connection to a series of sex assaults targeting women in South Philadelphia.

The person, who has not yet been identified, was taken into custody Monday afternoon. No charges have been filed at this time however.

Police say a male suspect assaulted nearly 10 women in the last two months, with one attack resulting in rape. On Friday, police said they had received eight reports. By Saturday, another woman came forward, bringing the total number of victims to at least nine.

"Almost all of our victims were accosted by this gentleman as they were trying to enter either their apartment or a business. So the M.O. is exactly the same," Philadelphia Police Department Capt. Mark Burgman said.

While most of the attacks have been deemed attempted sexual assaults or indecent assaults, the most recent resulted in rape, Burgman said at a Friday evening news conference held to discuss the spate of attacks. The captain said a woman was opening a business around 5 a.m. Friday on the 1900 block of South Bancoft Street when the man pulled a knife on her, pushed her inside and then raped her.

The ninth victim, a 33-year-old woman, came forward Saturday after the department's news conference.

She told police that she was trying to enter her apartment Thursday around 11:30 p.m. on the 400 block of Mifflin Street when a man rode up behind her on his bike, grabbed her by the waist, assaulted her and took off with $50 and her bag, PPD spokeswoman Tanya Little said.

The woman's description of her alleged attacker matches the one of the man who police believe is responsible for the other sexual assaults in the area.

Police say the suspect is between 30 and 50 years old, usually wears dark clothes, rides up behind victims on his bike and pulls a knife on them.

Police first put out an alert about the suspect in January. At that time, he had allegedly assaulted three women in a 10-day period.

Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, who represents South Philadelphia, issued a statement Saturday urging residents who might have any information to reach out to police.

"Women in South Philadelphia should not have to be stressed over their safety when leaving or returning to their homes alone, and locking their doors in fear at night, because a serial predator has not been caught," he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the PPD's Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251/3252.

A second student at the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers University was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis this month.

The student, who was hospitalized on Feb. 23, is receiving treatment, the university announced Monday, adding that Rutgers Student Health Services is continuously monitoring the situation and is coordinating its response with local, state and regional health officials.

This marks the second bacterial meningitis diagnosis this month in the New Brunswick campus of the state university. The first student was hospitalized and diagnosed on Feb. 4. That student has been released from the hospital, according to the university.

The university said that those who had close contact with the student are being notified in order for them to receive antibiotics as a preventative measure.

Public health officials are investigating to determine whether the two cases may be linked. The first student was diagnosed with meningitis type B, the university said, adding that the serogroup of meningitis that infected the second student has not yet been determined.

Vaccination is the best protection against meningococcal disease. The most common vaccine protects against four variations of the bacteria, known as types A, C, W and Y, school officials say. This vaccine does not protect against meningitis type B.

Once diagnosed, meningococcal disease is treatable with antibiotics, but quick medical attention is extremely important.

Signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease could include high fever, headache, stiff neck and a rash. These symptoms can develop over several hours, or they may take one to two days.

Members of the university community who experience symptoms or have health concerns should visit their health care provider and let them know about the recent case of meningitis at the campus, according to school officials.

Meningococcal disease is not spread by casual contact activities like being in the same work or school room as the sick person. However, it is generally transmitted through direct exchange of respiratory and throat secretions by close personal contact, such as coughing, sharing drinks, kissing, and being in close proximity for an extended period of time.

"Meningitis can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and saliva. So we need to evaluate students and see what sort of contact they’ve had with the individual in order to determine if they need antibiotics,” the state's DOH said after the first meningitis case at the university earlier this month.

The bacteria that cause meningococcal invasive disease are less infectious than the viruses that cause the common cold or flu.

Firefighters battled a blaze at the building containing Milanese Pizza in Delran, Burlington County, early Tuesday. The fire forced people from apartments above. At least two people were injured.

A decomposed body was found under a bridge and near railroad tracks in Center City Philadelphia overnight.

The skeletal remains were found behind a fence and near the CSX tracks underneath the Market Street bridge around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after someone said they spotted something that appeared to be a body, Philadelphia police said.

It was unclear the age or gender of the deceased.

Freight train service wasn’t impacted, investigators said.

The fence is on the other side of the popular Schuylkill River Trail.

A Pennsylvania woman charged in the deaths of five relatives, including two of her children and 9-year-old twin nieces, claimed the victims “wanted to die,” Bucks County authorities said.

The claim was revealed in an affidavit filed Tuesday morning by Bucks County officials. In it, 45-year-old Shana Decree, appeared to offer multiple explanations about what happened in the Morrisville, Pennsylvania, apartment.

The woman's adult daughter was also charged in connection with the deaths.

Decree, 45, and her daughter, Dominique Decree, 19, both face five counts of criminal homicide and one count of conspiracy, according to court records.

The victims were found Monday afternoon in the same first-floor apartment, located on the 200 block of West Bridge Street, during a well-being check by a Bucks County Children and Youth representative.

Eight people were known to live at the address, according to officials.

Officers who later arrived on the scene found the apartment in "disarray" and bodies scattered throughout one bedroom. Broken glass and turned-over furniture littered the three-bedroom apartment, officials said.

Some of the victims were lying in beds while others were sitting upright, according to the affidavit. Police have not said when the killings happened or how the victims died. 

The victims were identified as Shana Decree's two children, Naa'Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13, both of Morrisville; Shana Decree's sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, of Trenton, New Jersey, and Campbell's 9-year-old twin daughters, Imani and Erika Allen.

Campbell's 17-year-old son, who was initially feared to be in danger, was found safe, staying with friends in New Jersey, police said.

A neighbor, who said she is related to the family, knocked on the door a few times Friday but no one answered, Nicole Owens said. By Saturday, she felt something was wrong and alerted apartment maintenance staff. The building manager eventually called the county asking for a well-being check.

An apartment maintenance worker eventually opened the door and discovered the gruesome scene.

Shana Decree and Dominique Decree were found "disoriented" and taken to a local hospital, according to the affidavit. They were both hospitalized before being taken into custody, Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said.

Dominique Decree had visible injuries to her neck, detectives said. 

At the hospital, each woman initially claimed that a man or men killed their family members and attacked them, police said. 

Shana Decree later told investigators that the entire family wished to die. She claimed even the children were speaking of suicide.

A judge arraigned the elder Decree early Tuesday morning and ordered her held without bail, courts records said. Dominique Decree has yet to be arraigned.

"I wanted to make sure everybody knew that the people who committed these atrocious acts are now in custody and [will] be made to pay for their crimes," Weintraub said.

At least one the twins attended Morrisville Middle School, which released a statement Tuesday morning offering counseling and support services for students and staff. 

"This is a time of great sorrow for the entire school community," the statement read. "This is a difficult time for everyone, but I know our students and staff will be able to lean on each other as they remember their classmate."

Online court records don't list an attorney who could comment for either woman.

A man suspected in a series of sex assaults targeting women in South Philadelphia is a city employee and could be responsible for more than the four crimes he is charged with, police say.

Philadelphia police identified the suspect as Safien Williams. Officers arrested the 37-year-old Monday and searched his Earp Street home.

Williams was charged with two recent rapes, a recent indecent assault and a 2018 rape. Police said in each case he followed the women during late night or early morning hours.

He asked one victim for a hug, another for a kiss, and then attacked them, police alleged.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross called Williams a "very violent predator who essentially terrorized an entire neighborhood."

Police believe Williams is the man seen in recently released surveillance videos.

Investigators planned to go back and look into sex assaults and rapes occurring over the past two years, at least.

Police say a male suspect assaulted at least seven women in recent months.

"Almost all of our victims were accosted by this gentleman as they were trying to enter either their apartment or a business. So the M.O. is exactly the same," Philadelphia Police Department Capt. Mark Burgman said last week.

Police first put out an alert about the suspect in January. At that time, he had allegedly assaulted three women in a 10-day period.

He was hired as a laborer with the city's Streets Department last year, Ross said.

They recovered his cellphone and some clothing they believe he used during the assaults. And found a bicycle on a nearby abandoned property.

New Jerseyans’ outlook on the quality of life in their own state has plummeted to an all-time low, a new Monmouth University Poll reveals.

According to the findings, just half of residents give positive marks to the Garden State as a place to live. However, in stark contrast, the poll also reveals that residents’ opinions of their own local communities remain positive and have not drastically changed over the past year.

Just half of New Jersey residents say the state is either an excellent (11 percent) or good (39 percent) place to call home. Meanwhile, the poll determined that 32 percent say it is only fair and 17 percent rate the state as poor.

The current positive rating of 50 percent has dropped four points since last year’s Monmouth poll, marking a record low for this metric in New Jersey opinion polls dating back to 1980.

Over the past decade, this specific rating has generally been in the mid-60s. However, before that, positive rating of the state was frequently in the 70s, even reaching as high as 84 percent in 1987, according to the poll.

“The state rating has bounced around the last few years, but this latest result marks a precipitous drop from any prior reading. This is a huge warning sign for the state’s political leadership. If New Jerseyans aren’t confident that the situation will turn around, they will start voting with their feet,” Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement.

The quality of life index score took its biggest hit in Philadelphia suburbs — dropping 17 points from a +14 score last year to –3 in the Delaware Valley, which encompasses Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties.

The poll also found “a significant” nine-point drop in the state’s Urban Core, comprised of Essex and Hudson counties, going from +8 last year to –1 in the current poll. While the affluent Central Hills area of Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset counties retains the highest index score at +27, which is down seven points compared to last year’s score.

Additionally, the poll found that the Northern Shore of Monmouth and Ocean counties is the only region where the index score has ticked up over the past year, from +18 to +21.

Meanwhile, two-in-three New Jerseyans rate their own town or city as an excellent (30 percent) or good (37 percent) place to live, the poll determined, with 21 percent saying it is only fair and 11 percent rating it as poor.

However, the current 67 percent positive rating for local communities is down from 71 percent last year and is at the lower end of the range for this question since 2000, according to the findings.

“New Jerseyans seem to separate their views of the state as a whole from how they feel about their own neighborhoods. The question is how much longer this can go on before statewide problems override the benefits of living in their local community,” Murray said.

The recent poll also found a demographic shift in the key state rating since last year.

Positive reviews of New Jersey as a place to live have held steady among men, with 47 percent, while they have dropped by nine points among women, reaching 51 percent, the poll reveals.

“Older low-income residents seem to be okay with the direction New Jersey is going. It’s the younger wealth generators who are increasingly unhappy with it. Policymakers have to ask themselves how the state will be able to serve the first group if the latter group flees the state,” Murray said.

Tilting trains? It might sound strange, but Amtrak's new Acela line trains that lean into curves and bends will shave time off trips, and they plan to roll them out over the next couple of years.

Amtrak's Northeast Corridor is the busiest region in the Amtrak system, according to the agency, accounting for more than a third of total passengers. The Acela trains already offer quicker trips than Amtrak's regular equipment on the route, and soon they could become even faster.

Caroline Decker, vice president of the Northeast Corridor service line, said Amtrak is doing everything it can to provide a premier experience for passengers.

"Looking at every curve, every possibility where we can improve the trip time," she said.

Top speed for the trains is now 150 mph. New trains could hit 160 mph. And while the current trains do tilt some, new trains would tilt more. 

In addition to the new, faster trains, Amtrak officials are exploring other service enhancements as well — including a nonstop trip between D.C. and New York that would take just two and a half hours, shaving about 16 to 22 minutes off the existing Acela trip.

Since the new trains wouldn't replace existing equipment, that means the surplus trains could be used to offer departures every 30 minutes, or for express trips.

High-speed rail is difficult to attain for many communities across the country. U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said this is due in part to the geography of existing rail lines.

"You need a straight right-of-way in order to pick up speed, and so for many of our communities who are clustered around the path of the tracks, it's difficult for [trains]" Chao said.

These new trains aren't all that's being proposed. Amtrak's second-century plan involves major renovations to the Union Station passenger area. The improvements are intended to triple passenger capacity and double train capacity at the station. 

During the construction, the passenger area of Union Station will still be in service. Passengers have reason to hope that within the next couple of years, their trip north from Union Station will become that much speedier.

CORRECTION (Feb. 26, 12:43 p.m.): An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the two-and-a-half hour trip would be between D.C. and Boston, not D.C. and New York.

A woman and child were killed after their SUV crashed into another vehicle, flipped over and became fully engulfed in flames Tuesday afternoon in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.

"Anything involving children is just difficult," Scullville Vol. Fire Company Chief Steve Prisament said. "Very difficult."

The victims were inside an SUV traveling on English Creek Avenue just south of Buckingham Drive at 12:14 p.m. when the vehicle collided with a Cadillac.

The impact caused the SUV to flip over and catch fire, trapping the woman and child inside. They both died from their injuries. Police have not yet revealed their identities but told NBC10 the victims are from the Egg Harbor Township area.

The driver of the Cadillac, a woman, was taken to the hospital to get checked out but appeared to be okay.

Officials continue to investigate what led to the crash.
