Quintez Adams was taken into custody on Wednesday and transported to a hospital for further evaluation. Deputy Commissioner Ben Naish told the NBC Philadelphia the 28-year-old suspect had some injuries at the time of his arrest, but did not provide any additional details.

Police earlier this week named Adams as a suspect in a pair off separate incidents, the most recent of which happened Sunday on the SEPTA’s Broad Street Line, near the Girard station. The alleged victim told authorities she was raped around 12:30 p.m.

Authorities said Adams was also wanted for in an indecent exposure incident that happened on April 4 on the 700 block of Market Street.

Both assaults come amid a spike in violence on Philadelphia’s SEPTA system. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, robberies and aggravated assaults on the regional public transit system have spiked more than 80% between 2019 and 2021.

It also comes after a woman was raped in view of other passengers on the Market-Frankford Line near the Upper Darby 69th. The incident, which occurred last fall, attracted widespread attention after it was revealed commuters failed to help the victim.
