A rideshare driver is accused of assaulting a woman in Boston last week, according to authorities.
The woman entered the Boston Police Department’s District 14 station in Brighton on April 14 to report she was assaulted by the driver, officials said.
Detectives from the department’s Sexual Assault Unit were able to identify the driver, 25-year-old Sonpreet Singh, and obtain an arrest warrant for him, according to a statement from the department.
Singh went to District 14 three days later to surrender himself, police said. The Somerville man was arrested on a straight warrant for indecent assault and battery on a person over 14. He will be arraigned in Brighton District Court.

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) A former clerk for Boston Police Department’s District A-1 Detectives Unit was arrested and charged Wednesday in connection with an investigation of overtime fraud at the Boston Police Department.
According to U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling s office, 68-year-old Marilyn Golisano was indicted on one count of embezzlement from an agency receiving federal funds, and six counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. She is expected to appear in federal court in Boston later Wednesday.
The indictment says the investigation revealed that Golisano, who handled the overtime paperwork for her unit, submitted dozens of false and fraudulent overtime slips on which she had forged the signatures of at least three different BPD supervisors.
