Serial attacker targeting Sydney women

A man with an afro is believed to be responsible for a series of indecent assaults on Sydney women.

The man has been identified in three incidents, including the latest on Monday when a 70-year-old woman walking her dog on Lyon Street at Mascot was attacked from behind.

Last month, the same man attacked a 49-year-old woman from behind as she retrieved something from her car in Mascot's King Street.

In December, a 20-year-old woman was also attacked in King Street as she entered a building.

Images from the CCTV footage of the man has been released.
