MANCHESTER, Conn. -- A good Samaritan is being credited with leading police to a man suspected of raping a teenage girl.

David Hebert said he called police after a teenage girl knocked on the back door of RTG Manufacturing in Manchester, where he is employed.

"She looked kind of not right," Hebert said.

Hebert said the girl told him that she had been sexually assaulted in the nearby woods.

Hebert said he waited and comforted the girl until police arrived, and then he led police to the tent of man who had been living in the woods.

Police said Carlos Boscana, who has been charged in connection with the rape, was still sleeping in the tent when Hebert led them there.

According to police, the girl ran away from a group home and asked Boscana for directions to Manchester. Police said Boscana and the girl ended up in the woods instead, and the girl was held against her will overnight.

Police credited Boscana's arrest to Hebert's actions.

"He'd give you the shirt right off his back; that's the kind of guy he is," said Hebert's friend, Joseph Wallace, of Manchester.

"I feel real good. I finally did a good thing for once," Hebert said.
