By Man wanted for sexual assaults

Mountain View police last week were searching for the identity of a man suspected of sexually attacking four women over the past month.

Police said since Oct. 18, four residents have reported being groped by a man on a BMX-style bike while walking in Mountain View near Steven’s Creek Trail..

Police said they do not have conclusive evidence linking the four incidences but suspect the attacker is the same man because of the similarities in each case.

Police describe the man as 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin to medium build, no facial hair and very short or newly-shaved hair. The man is between 16 and 30 and has a Central or South American accent.

If you have information, call detective Nate Wandruff at 903-6388.
