A “visibly shaken’’ woman told police that Andrew “A.J.’’ Baker had groped her on a JetBlue flight and only stopped after she asked a flight attendant to move her seat, according to a police report detailing the assault allegations against Governor Charlie Baker’s adult son.

Federal officials are now investigating the incident, which police say occurred about 45 minutes into the flight from Washington, D.C., to Boston on Wednesday night.

The 29-year-old woman told State Police that she was “touched inappropriately’’ by Baker, and that he had groped her right breast. One witness described seeing Baker, 24, “lean over’’ toward the woman “a couple of times,’’ and another said she heard the woman tell Baker “don’t do that . . . don’t do that’’ before summoning the flight attendant to move her seat.
