Police are seeking a man involved in three incidents over a ten minute period in Stockbridge on Friday morning. Two sexual assaults – including one on a woman pushing a child in a buggy – took place between 8.35 and 8.45 on North West Circus Place.
The man approached a 26-year-old woman as she walked to work and touched her inappropriately. He then did the same to a mother pushing her child in a buggy, and minutes later he made sexually explicit remarks to a man and woman nearby. Police said he verbally abused the couple after becoming involved in an argument with them.
The man responsible is described as being white, with a medium build and around 30 years old. He is about 5ft 9in tall, with dark hair, possibly with a goatee beard and was wearing a black jacket with a small white logo on the chest, dark jeans and white footwear.
Det Insp Jacqui Cotterell said: “While none of these women were physically injured, they were all left very upset by the suspect’s actions and we’re pursuing a number of lines of inquiry to trace this male.
“We believe the same individual may also have approached other women in the area and would urge anyone who wishes to report similar offences to contact police immediately.
“In addition, anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious on North West Circus Place on Friday morning should also get in touch.”
