In a release Friday, police said they were investigating reports of sexual assaults near Wilson Avenue and Jane Street.
The first incident Tuesday morning involved the accused approaching a group of 14-year-old girls, and allegedly assaulting one of them before leaving the area.
The second took place around 8:25 a.m. Thursday, police said. The man approached a 34-year-old woman and then sexually assaulted her before fleeing, according to police.
That same day, minutes later, the same man allegedly approached an 11-year-old girl and assaulted her before leaving.
