State Police detectives assigned to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office and Chelsea Police detectives are seeking a vehicle in connection with a violent physical assault early this morning on Parker Street.

The vehicle is described as a four-door, gray car, possibly a Nissan Altima or an Audi and possibly manufactured in the early 2000s, with red numbered license plates. Authorities believe the driver of the vehicle, a dark-haired adult male between 5’7” and 5’10” with a medium build, may have information helpful to investigators.

Police say the victim was violently beaten in the area of 99 Parker St. shortly before 2:00 this morning. She was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital in critical condition but is now expected to survive.

Anyone with information on the car, its driver, or the incident itself is urged to call Chelsea Police detectives at 617-466-4843 or the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at 617-727-8817.
