He pushed her against a wall and subjected her to a sexual assault before fleeing the scene after she shouted for him to stop.
Approximately a month later, in July, an 18-year-old woman was targeted shortly after leaving a supermarket.
The attacker grabbed her around the neck and pulled her backward.
She fought him off and ran home, where her mother contacted the police.

The attacker grabbed her around the throat and pulled her to the ground.
The victim resisted and was able to escape.
