An unknown man traveled from Pennsport to East Passyunk Crossing, exposing himself to four females and assaulting two of them Monday.
A 22-year-old woman was strolling northbound on the 1100 block of South Second Street at 8:55 a.m. when the man indecently assaulted her from behind and then hopped inside a small, black vehicle with faded paint and a dent on the right rear side that headed south on Second, according to a Special Victims Unit crime bulletin.
Fifteen minutes later as a 27-year-old woman headed east on the 100 block of Ellsworth Street, the man assaulted her as well, according to the bulletin. When she turned around, she saw his genitals exposed through his unzipped pants. The man fled on foot.
On the 1800 block of South 10th Street, the man, who was standing next to a parked car, tried to converse with a 67-year-old woman at 9:20 a.m. as he touched his uncovered private parts, according to the bulletin.
The man approached a 65-year-old woman five minutes later sitting in front of her residence on the 1800 block of South Ninth Street, according to the bulletin. When he tried to talk to her, she realized he was feeling himself, so she entered her home.
The man was described as Latino, in his mid- to late-20s, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-9; having dark-colored hair; and wearing dark-colored clothing.
