Man arrested after three women assaulted
A man has been arrested after three women were sexually assaulted on their way to work in Totterdown last week.
The 33-year-old was held on suspicion of sexual assault and common assault. He has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
The arrest comes a week after the women who were walking to work were attacked in a 10-minute spell during the morning rush hour.
At about 8am on Thursday, November 6, a man approached a woman on Bath Road, Totterdown, close to the Bath Bridge roundabout, and indecently touched her.
He then approached a second woman moments later and indecently assaulted her. The woman pushed the suspect away and he walked off.
Police think the man then assaulted a third woman on Oxford Street, Totterdown, about 10 minutes later.
The suspect is described as white, about 6ft tall, of an average build.
He had dark hair and a dark beard with a moustache. He was wearing a short dark green coat with a dark top underneath and black trousers. He was wearing brown walking style shoes and was carrying a full black bin bag.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC William Fuller on 101 quoting 116051/14, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
