Sex offender on the loose

A Keilor East woman was among four women indecently assaulted within a two-hour period across central Melbourne and the north-west this month.

Detectives from the Melbourne sexual offences and child abuse investigation team believe the same man is responsible for all four attacks, which started on November 1 when a 46-year-old woman was running on The Tan track on Birdwood Avenue about 6am.

The woman was approached from behind by an unknown man, who indecently assaulted her before fleeing on foot towards St Kilda Road.

Just 25 minutes later, a second woman was standing at a tram stop on St Kilda Road when a man exposed himself to her.

As the 23-year-old attempted to walk away, the man followed her, indecently assaulting her. He was then seen heading on foot towards Swanston Street.

Just after 7am on the same day, two women were walking near the river at Chifley Drive, Maribyrnong, when approached by a man, who indecently assaulted one of them before running off.

Within 20 minutes, at Clarks Road, Keilor East, a woman was grabbed as she was walking and indecently assaulted by a man, who ran off after the attack.

Investigators have released CCTV footage and images of the man they want to speak to as part of their investigation.

He is described as Caucasian in appearance, aged in his 30s, with a slim to medium build. He was wearing a dark blue or navy T-shirt, with a white emblem, and dark pants at the time of the incidents.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
