TWO "brazen" sex attacks have taken place within four days of each other in Worcester.

Police are not linking the indecent assaults in Barbourne, the latest of which happened on Friday, August 18.

The female victim was walking to work between 9am and 10am when she was approached from behind by a young man on a bike.

He is described as being aged 18-19, of medium build with distinctive short ginger hair. He was wearing a dark blue tracksuit top.

The first assault happened on Monday, August 14, at lunchtime in St George's Walk.

The attacker was in his early 20s, white, about 5ft 4in tall and of medium build.

He was wearing black sunglasses, a navy blue long-sleeved sweatshirt and dark grey jeans.

"Although we're not linking the two assaults, both were brazen in nature and occurred at times of day when there were plenty of people about," said PC Mark Chappell.

Anyone with information should contact Worcester police on 01905 723888 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
