Is there any reason why Amory Street seems to be a hotspot for muggings in Brookline? It seems like such a random street for crime to occur on and yet every year there's a spate of muggings there.

Wasn't there some other, somewhat recent incident in Brookline where a woman was grabbed from behind in an attack? I can't remember where it was in the town.
