Calgary police are seeking public assistance to help locate the suspect in a random sexual assault that took place in early August.

At around 12:55 a.m. on Aug. 10, three women were walking to a home in the 900 block of Ridge Road S.W. along a path when a naked man grabbed one of them in a sexual nature.

The woman was able to break free the man and contacted police to report the incident.

Police believe the same suspect is responsible for a number of other sexually-motivated indecent acts that took place in downtown Calgary and the city’s southwest throughout the summer.

Between July 7 and Aug. 13, police received three other reports relating to indecent exposure and flashing that they believe involved the same suspect.

Victims reported walking along public pathways and being startled by a man who jumped out of the bushes naked.

Another victim reported being flashed by a man while walking downtown.
