PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police are hoping surveillance cameras will help them find a man who allegedly raped a woman in a parking lot near Lincoln Financial Field during Sunday’s Eagles game.

The 40-year-old woman told investigators she went to the game with a group of people on a bus. Police say she left her friends during the game and planned to return to the bus to rest.

She had trouble finding the vehicle and asked a man wearing a yellow shirt with the word “Staff” on it to help her. Police say he walked her to the bus and then left, but returned a few minutes later and raped her.

Police Capt. John Darby says investigators are looking at surveillance video in hopes of finding footage of the man and woman walking near the stadium.
