A sixth sexual assault has been reported to police since police began searching for a cycling serial bum-grabber.
The latest report happened on June 29 but wasn’t reported to Halifax Regional until Wednesday night after news reports of as many as five similar incidents since May in north-end Halifax involving a man riding a bicycle who grabs the buttocks of women.
Police say they’re worried about the incidents because the culprit seems to be getting bolder and more physical in his attacks. In one incident earlier this week, the man grabbed a woman and pedaled off, but returned a few minutes later and physically assaulted her.
The June 29 incident happened in Dartmouth.
A woman was walking on Slayter Street around 9:55 a.m. when a cyclist approached her from the front and brushed past her. She felt something touch her as he past, but thought it might have been his jacket.
A few minutes later, as she walked on nearby Maple Street, the man drove up behind her and grabbed her buttocks.
The suspect in the June 29 incidents idescribed as a white male, under 40 years of age wearing a hat or a helmet and a black jacket.
Anyone who may have been assaulted this way is urged to call police at 490-5020. Halifax Regional Police spokeswoman Theresa Brien said it’s vital for police to respond as quickly as possible after an attack.
