Three woman attacked in Birmingham in less than an hour
Police are hunting a man suspected of attacking three women on the Soho Road.
All three attacks happened on the evening of Sunday 1st September.
A 35-year-old was raped and robbed of her necklace after being walked to nearby Waverhill Park, then minutes later , a 46-year-old was robbed of her handbag, before a woman was assaulted on Rookery Road.
West Midlands Police are appealing for help, and have released CCTV images of the man they believe is responsible.
He’s described as eastern European, in his late 20s to early 30s, with dark brown hair and a goatee beard. He was wearing a white t-shirt, ripped blue jeans and a black leather jacket with a diagonal zip.
Victims have also described the offender as having a tattoo on his right bicep, a circle tattoo on his neck and another tattoo on his right hand.
Superintendent Ed Foster said:
“We’re looking at three very nasty attacks on women in a short period of time. The first victim suffered multiple fractures to her arm as she tried fending off the attacker.
“The women have provided a good description of the attacker including details of tattoos on his arm, leg and neck.
“We need to trace this man immediately and I’d urge anyone who believes they recognise him, or may have seen him in the area, to get in touch.
“We also need to trace the third victim or indeed anyone else who may have been attacked by the man but not reported the incident to police.
“All information will be handled with the utmost confidence…we just want information that will help us catch the offender and protect the public."
