Man wanted over Richmond sex assault rampage

They happened on Sunday, April 14.
In the first incident, a woman was attempting to open a front door when she was grabbed from behind and placed in a hug outside a home in Howard Street about 3.20am.
She was grabbed on the buttocks and breast and screamed before the offender ran off.
On the same day, a second woman was walking along Church Street when it’s believed the same man also placed her in a bear hug before sexually assaulting her about 5am.
A short time later another woman, who was walking along Grosvenor Street, Abbotsford, was approached by the same man and seriously sexually assaulted about 5.20am.
The victim screamed before a Good Samaritan, who was nearby at the time, attempted to chase the offender who got away.
The man is described as about 25-30 years-old with a dark complexion, medium to solid build with medium-length dreadlocks and clean shaven.
He was wearing a black-coloured hooded jumper with red-coloured ‘PNG’ capital letters inscribed across the chest area, black shorts with white-coloured text or insignia on the lower left leg, white socks and black sneaker style shoes.
