Police are worried a serial sex attacker is operating in Wellington after four young women have been attacked in and around the central city this week. Three of the four victims have given a similar description of their attacker, who operates in broad daylight. Police are concerned that his attacks have become progressively more serious. Police say the man grabbed her from behind and placed his hand around her mouth, but ran off when the girl yelled and fought back. The man groped her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.
Police believe the same man carried out at least three of the attacks.
They have been putting up posters and doing leaflets drops in letter boxes in the areas near where the man struck. They are also working on an identikit picture of the sex offender.
